The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Chromosomal Disorders**: - Chromosomal disorders are syndromes characterized by malfunctions or malformations in body systems due to abnormal chromosome numbers or structures. 2. **Identifying Causes of Chromosomal Disorders**: - Chromosomal disorders can arise from: - **Absence of one or more chromosomes**: This can lead to conditions like Turner’s syndrome, where a female has only one X chromosome instead of two. - **Excess of one or more chromosomes**: This can be seen in Klinefelter syndrome, where a male has an extra X chromosome (XXY). - **Abnormal rearrangement of chromosomes**: This includes mutations, translocations, deletions, or inversions that alter the normal structure of chromosomes. 3. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option 1**: Absence of one or more chromosomes – True, as seen in Turner’s syndrome. - **Option 2**: Excess of one or more chromosomes – True, as seen in Klinefelter syndrome. - **Option 3**: Abnormal rearrangement of chromosomes – True, as various mutations can cause chromosomal disorders. - **Option 4**: Any of these – Since all the previous options are valid causes of chromosomal disorders, this option is correct. 4. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **Option 4: Any of these**. Chromosomal disorders can be caused by the absence, excess, or abnormal rearrangement of chromosomes.
