∙ 11y agoIt is called monosomy, which is the term for any condition in which there is only one of a pair of chromosomes present. This particular monosomy is called Turner's syndrome, in which a female inherits a single X chromosome. Monosomy in which the single sex chromosome is a Y chromosome is never seen because it is a lethal mutation. A male must have an X chromosome in addition to the Y chromosome in order to survive.
