The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following has a normal sex chromosome complement, we need to analyze each option provided in the context of genetic conditions related to sex chromosomes. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Turner Syndrome**: - Turner syndrome is characterized by the presence of a single X chromosome (X0), resulting in a total of 45 chromosomes. This condition affects females and indicates an abnormal sex chromosome complement. - **Conclusion**: Turner syndrome does not have a normal sex chromosome complement. 2. **Understand Super Female (Triple X Syndrome)**: - Triple X syndrome is characterized by the presence of three X chromosomes (XXX), resulting in a total of 47 chromosomes. This condition also indicates an abnormal sex chromosome complement. - **Conclusion**: Super Female does not have a normal sex chromosome complement. 3. **Understand Klinefelter Syndrome**: - Klinefelter syndrome is characterized by the presence of an extra X chromosome (XXY), resulting in a total of 47 chromosomes. This condition affects males and indicates an abnormal sex chromosome complement. - **Conclusion**: Klinefelter syndrome does not have a normal sex chromosome complement. 4. **Understand Down Syndrome**: - Down syndrome is caused by trisomy of the 21st chromosome, which affects the autosomes. Individuals with Down syndrome typically have a normal sex chromosome complement, which can be either XX (female) or XY (male). - **Conclusion**: Down syndrome has a normal sex chromosome complement. ### Final Answer: Among the conditions analyzed, **Down syndrome** is the only one that has a normal sex chromosome complement. ---
