The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the Assertion (A) and the Reason (R) provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion (A) The assertion states that a karyotype of 45 with X0 is the key genetic diagnostic point in case of an individual suffering from Turner syndrome. - Turner syndrome is a condition that occurs in females when one of the X chromosomes is missing or partially missing. - A normal female has two X chromosomes (XX), which gives a total of 46 chromosomes (2n = 46). - In Turner syndrome, the karyotype is 45, which indicates that one X chromosome is missing (X0). - Therefore, the assertion is correct. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason (R) The reason states that Turner syndrome is caused due to the presence of an additional copy of chromosome number 21. - This statement is incorrect. Turner syndrome is not caused by an additional chromosome; rather, it is due to the absence of one X chromosome. - The condition associated with an additional copy of chromosome 21 is known as Down syndrome, not Turner syndrome. - Therefore, the reason is false. ### Step 3: Conclusion Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, we conclude that the correct answer is that the assertion is correct while the reason is incorrect. ### Final Answer The correct option is that the assertion is correct and the reason is wrong. ---
