No. People with Klinefelter's syndrome have a normal Y chromosome and 2 normal X chromosomes.
Four types of chromosomal mutations are Down syndrome (which is a mutation in which there are three copies of chromosome 21), Kinefelter Syndrome (which is a mutation in which a male has an extra X-chromosome), Turner Syndrome (which is a mutation in which a female is missing an X-chromosome), and Patau Syndrome (which is a mutation in which there are three copies of chromosome 13).
No, Down syndrome is caused by nondisjunction resulting in an extra chromosome in the 21st pair. An inactivated X chromosome (Barr body) is normal for all females. Females inherit two X chromosomes, and one is heavily methylated.

Disorders, such as Down's Syndrome, are caused by nondisjunction.
Well down syndrome is causes by the 21st chromosome of a sex cell doubling, and so once fertilisation with the egg commences there will be 3 21st chromosomes. When you have 45 their is multiple things that can happen, the only consistent one is Turner Syndrome, which basically stunts puberty. This only happens in females and it is when they have X instead of XX.
Down Syndrome is known as trisomy 21 because someone with the syndrome has 3 chromosomes of the same type when we are only supposed to have 2 (one from each parent). Chromosomes are paired and numbered so Down Syndrome is the result of having 3 of the #21 chromosome. The body will not know what to do with the extra chromosome so as a precautionary measure it will shut down all 3 and the genes that are within the chromosomes can no longer be accessed. So as you can see, Down Syndrome is not from being inherited by a specific gene. It is due to an error in meiosis in either the mother or the father.
Down Syndrome is AKA Trisomy 21. there are 3 autosomes on the 23 chromosome. it isn't x linked, but is randomly mutated and in some cases autosomal.
Both syndrome's indicate the presence of a 47th chromosome (or extra part of a chromosome). Most humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, totaling 46 chromosomes. For Down's syndrome, the 47th chromosome appears with the 21st pairing. For Klinefelter's syndrome the 47th chromosome appears with the 26th pairing (the gender chromosomes.)
It's located on the X chromosome.
Because people who have Turner syndrome have one X chromosome instead of the two other females have. As they do not have a Y chromosome, they are female.
It is a type of genetic disorder in which females are affected. This happens when they dont have an X chromosome as in the sex chromosome so the resultant will be XO.
