The chromosomal constitution of an individual with Turner's syndrome is:

Answer: 44 autosomes + XO.

  • A 44 autosomes + XXY
  • B 44 autosomes + XYY
  • C 44 autosomes + XO
  • D 44 autosomes + XXX

Correct answer: C. 44 autosomes + XO

Explanation: Turner's syndrome (45, XO) arises from the loss of one sex chromosome, producing a sterile female phenotype.

Monohybrid Cross: Tt x TtParent 1 (Tt)Parent 2 (Tt)gametes: T, t (from each parent)TtTtTTTtTtttRatio 1 TT : 2 Tt : 1 tt (3 tall : 1 short if T = tall is dominant)

Punnett square for a monohybrid cross between two heterozygous (Tt) parents, showing the 3:1 phenotypic ratio predicted by Mendel's Law of Segregation.
