The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Turner Syndrome:** - Turner syndrome is a genetic disorder that primarily affects females. It is characterized by the absence of one of the X chromosomes. 2. **Chromosomal Composition in Turner Syndrome:** - Normally, females have two X chromosomes (XX). However, in Turner syndrome, there is only one X chromosome present, leading to a chromosomal composition of XO (where "O" indicates the absence of a second X chromosome). 3. **Identifying the Chromosomal Cause:** - The condition is caused by the absence of one of the X chromosomes. Therefore, the chromosomal makeup is not XX but XO. 4. **Conclusion:** - The correct answer to the question "Turner's syndrome of female is due to the chromosome" is that it is due to the presence of only one X chromosome (XO). **Final Answer:** Turner's syndrome in females is due to the absence of one X chromosome, resulting in the chromosomal composition XO. ---
