The genetic disorder you are referring to is Klinefelter syndrome. Individuals with Klinefelter syndrome have 44 autosomes and at least one extra sex chromosome, usually XXY. This condition can lead to various physical and developmental differences in affected individuals.
Klinefelter Syndrome is sex-linked, because it is a genetic defect that results in a male having an extra X chromosome.
Nondisjunction in males can lead to disorders such as Klinefelter syndrome, where individuals have an extra X chromosome (XXY) instead of the typical XY combination. This can result in symptoms like reduced fertility, gynecomastia, and developmental delays.
Trisomy means having three copies of a chromosomes. Turner's syndrome is NOT an example of trisomy. Someone with Turner's syndrome has only one X chromosome. Down's syndrome IS an example of trisomy. Someone with Down's syndrome has 3 copies of chromosome 21. Klinefelter's syndrome is a tricky one. On one hand, it would be considered trisomy because they have 3 sex chromosomes. However, they are not all the SAME sex chromosomes. Someone with Klinefelter's has 2 X chromosomes and one Y chromosome.
Klinefelter syndrome is a genetic condition in males where they have an extra X chromosome, resulting in symptoms like infertility and low testosterone levels. Turner syndrome, on the other hand, is a genetic condition in females where they are missing part or all of one of their X chromosomes, leading to symptoms like short stature and infertility.
