The correct Answer is:
D
Turner's syndrome occur due absence of X chromosome. Individuals having a single X chromosome `2A+XO(45)` have female sexual differentiation but ovaries are rudimentary. Other associated phenotypes of this condition are short stature, webbed-neck, broad chest lack of secondary sexual characteristics and sterility. Thus, any imbalance in the copies of the sex chromosomes may disrupt the genetic information necessary for normal sexual development.
