Yes, it is a chromosomal error which occured most likely during meiosis. It is an error in cell division called NONDISJUNCTION. The single X chromsome is maternal, which suggests that the meiotic error tends to be paternal (3/4 of cases)

Turner syndrome is typically the result of a random event, rather than being inherited from a person's parents. It is caused by a complete or partial absence of one of the X chromosomes, leading to a variety of physical and developmental differences.
The most common type of chromosomal disorder is the Down syndrome caused by an added copy of chromosomes 21. More common chromosomal disorders are Klinefelter's syndrome and Turnerâ??s syndrome.
Turner syndrome is a genetic condition that affects females, typically resulting in short stature, delayed puberty, and infertility. Some individuals may also experience heart defects, kidney abnormalities, and learning disabilities. Although it is a lifelong condition, many individuals with Turner syndrome lead healthy and fulfilling lives with medical monitoring and support.
Chromosomal disorders can be observed in a human karyotype. It can show whether there are extra chromosomes, or missing chromosomes, or malformed chromosomes, or whether chromosomes have extra pieces, or missing pieces.
A karyotype can provide information about the number, size, and shape of an individual's chromosomes. This can help detect chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome or Turner syndrome in a fetus.
Turner syndrome cannot be transported from one person to another as it is a chromosomal disorder.
The three major chromosomal disorders are Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, and Klinefelter syndrome. Down syndrome is characterized by an extra copy of chromosome 21, Turner syndrome involves a missing or incomplete X chromosome in females, and Klinefelter syndrome is caused by an extra X chromosome in males.
If one of sex chromosomes is missing. Normal-XX Turner- XO

You can't catch it, it's a chromosomal disorder meaning you only have 1 X chromosome.

This type of error is known as a chromosomal abnormality, which can occur during cell division and lead to an incorrect number of chromosomes in the zygote. Such abnormalities often result in zygotes that either fail to develop to term or develop severe congenital defects. Common examples include conditions like Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, and Klinefelter syndrome, which can arise from these chromosomal issues.
Turner syndrome is usually random and not inherited. It occurs when a female is born with a missing or incomplete X chromosome. In rare cases, Turner syndrome can be inherited if one parent carries a chromosomal abnormality.
Turner syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by a missing or incomplete X chromosome in females. It is characterized by specific physical features and can lead to health issues such as short stature and infertility.
A karyotype of an individual's white blood cells can be used to diagnose chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, and Klinefelter syndrome. It can also detect genetic disorders caused by aneuploidy or large structural chromosomal changes.
No, as it is a chromosomal disorder I am fairly sure it would affect all demographics equally.
