Which of the following are example(s) of trisomy---Turner Syndrome Down's Syndrome or Klinefelter's Syndrome?
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.
What genetic disorder has 44 autosomes and 3 or more sex chromosomes?
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.
Can you be a candidate with klinefelter?
It depends one what one wished to be a candidate for, but only in some exceptional circumstances, such as the Olympics, are individuals with Klinefelter Syndrome excluded from eligiblity in one group or another.
What disorder is caused by nondisjunction in males?
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.
What are the key differences between Klinefelter syndrome and Turner syndrome?
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.
Is apert syndrome autosomal or sexlinked?
Apert syndrome is a autosomal dominant genetic disorder, meaning that only one copy of the mutated gene from either parent is necessary to inherit the condition. It is not sex-linked.
Does mutation occur in klinefelter syndrome?
Mutation of a gene is not necessary for Klinefelter's Syndrome. It is an autosomal disorder meaning that an entire chromosome failed to disjunction during anaphase and so there are 2 X chromosomes and a Y chromosome.
Does a hermaphrodite have klinefelter?
People with Klinefelter's syndrome are not hermaphrodites, and people who are hermaphrodites do not have Klinefelter's syndrome.
What genotypes cause Klinefelter's syndrome?
The only genotype to cause Klinefelter's syndrome is XXY.
Who discover klinefelter syndrome?

Which could be the genotype for a male suffering from Klinefelter's syndrome?
The genotype for a person suffering with Klinefelter's syndrome is XXY.
Are klinefelter syndrome and Turner syndrome results of nondisjunction of autosomes?
No, Klinefelter syndrome and Turner syndrome are the result of nondisjunction of sex chromosomes. Klinefelter syndrome is caused by an extra X chromosome (XXY), while Turner syndrome is due to a missing X chromosome (XO).
