The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Karyotype**: The question states that individuals have a karyotype of 45 chromosomes, which includes 44 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome. In normal humans, the karyotype consists of 46 chromosomes (44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes). 2. **Identifying the Condition**: The presence of only one sex chromosome (in this case, likely one X chromosome) in females indicates a specific genetic condition. Normal females have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). 3. **Recognizing the Abnormality**: The condition described is known as Turner syndrome. This syndrome occurs when a female has only one X chromosome (45,X instead of the normal 46,XX). 4. **Symptoms of Turner Syndrome**: Individuals with Turner syndrome may exhibit various physical and developmental abnormalities, including: - Short stature - Developmental delays - Infertility - Late onset of puberty 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the abnormality referred to in the question is Turner syndrome, which is characterized by the presence of only one X chromosome in females. ### Final Answer: The abnormality called female dysgenesis in individuals with a karyotype of 45 chromosomes (44 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome) is known as Turner syndrome.
