The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Monosomy**: - Monosomy refers to the condition where there is a missing chromosome in a pair. In humans, this means having only one chromosome instead of the normal two (2n - 1). 2. **Identifying the Options**: - The options given are: - A) Turner's syndrome - B) Hemophilia - C) Phenylketonuria - D) Sickle cell anemia 3. **Analyzing Each Condition**: - **Turner's Syndrome**: This condition is characterized by the absence of one X chromosome in females, resulting in a genotype of XO. It is indeed a result of monosomy (specifically, monosomy of the X chromosome). - **Hemophilia**: This is a genetic disorder that affects blood clotting but is not caused by monosomy. It is typically linked to mutations in genes on the X chromosome. - **Phenylketonuria (PKU)**: This is a metabolic disorder caused by a deficiency in the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase, not related to monosomy. - **Sickle Cell Anemia**: This is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the hemoglobin gene, leading to abnormally shaped red blood cells. It is not related to monosomy. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the only condition that occurs due to monosomy of chromosomes is **Turner's syndrome**. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **Turner's syndrome**. ---
