Going down to the cellular level, it occurs in meiosis when chromosomes fail to separate (nondisjuction). We get a set of chromosomes from our paternal side and the other set from out maternal side. For example, one of the gamete that may have came from our maternal side contains no chromosomes , O, when it should contain that chromosome x while from our paternal side we get a gamete containing the x chromosomes. This results in a XO, a sterile female when the normal sex chromosomes are XX or XY.

Who carries the Turners Syndrome Does it come from the female or male?
Turner Syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects females only. It is caused by the absence of all or part of one of the X chromosomes. This condition is not passed down through family genetics, but occurs randomly.
What genes or chromosomes is the muitation that causes turners syndrome?
Turner syndrome is the result of one of the two X chromosomes being missing or damaged in some or all cells. These chromosomes are the sex chromosomes, which determine whether a person will be male or female. As people with Turners only have an X chromosome and no Y chromosome they are born female.
Why does an individual with Turners syndrome often NOT get diagnosed till adolescence?
Sometimes the person does not have obvious characteristics of Turner syndrome, so they do not get diagnosed as a child. When they become adolescent and do not go through puberty that is what leads the doctor to test the person for Turner syndrome.
In Jacob syndrome did the nondisjunction occur in the mother or father?
Jacob syndrome, 49XYY, has to occur as a result of nondisjunction in the father. The Jacob Syndrome male would have received the X chromosome from his mother, and both Y chromosomes from the father (since the Y chromosomes can not possibly have come from the mother). Jacob Syndrome can be the result of nondisjunction in meiosis.
How does turner syndrome affect someone's life?
Turner's Syndrome only occurs in females. Symptoms of a girl with Turner syndrome include:short staturewebbed skin of the neckabnormal eye features (drooping eyelids)abnormal bone development, such as a "shield-shaped," broad flat chestabsent or retarded development of secondary sexual characteristics that normally appear at puberty, including sparse pubic hair and small breastscoarctation (narrowing) of the aortabicuspid aortic valveinfertilitydry eyesabsence of menstruation
Can animals get klinefelters or turners syndrome as humans do?
Yes animals do sometimes have Turner's syndrome or Klinefelter's syndrome with similar characteristics as those observed in humans.
Why does turners syndrome affect so little?
not a very bad (effective) symptom
Who carries the Turners Syndrome Does it come from the female or male?
Turner Syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects females only. It is caused by the absence of all or part of one of the X chromosomes. This condition is not passed down through family genetics, but occurs randomly.
Can a girl with a karyotype of 46XX still be diagnosed with Turners?
No, individuals with Turner syndrome typically have a karyotype of 45X. If a girl has a karyotype of 46XX, she would not be diagnosed with Turner syndrome.
Does turner syndrome have mental effect?
As a 19yr old female with Turner's Syndrome (diagnosed at 8yrs old), have never had any problems in school. There is usually no mental effect, however girls with turners may have problems with spatial problems and possibly math. However, I am in my second year of university, and have received an A in Linear Algebra, and have never had special treatment due to turners syndrome.
Turners syndrome is what type of disorder?
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.
Does turner syndrome occur in boys?
No, Turner syndrome affects girls.
Does turner's syndrome occur in all cells?
No, only the gametes would be indicative of sterility. It is possible that the individual (though incredibly rare) to have "chimera" syndrome, where two non-identical twins merge to form one fetus. Turner's Syndrome is the absence of the male sex chromosome BTW. That chromosome carries little genetic information, and is possible during mitosis to "loose" it, but still create a mostly viable cell.
What is turners disease not turners syndrome that can affect males?
Turner's disease is a rare genetic condition that can affect males, characterized by short stature and infertility due to chromosome abnormalities. This condition is also known as Noonan syndrome. Symptoms can vary but often include heart defects, developmental delays, and distinctive facial features. Treatment aims to manage symptoms and complications associated with the condition.
Can a person with Turners syndrome have some of the symptoms?
yes. Not every girl/woman has issues with heart, or a webbed neck, for example. The syndrome affects each woman differently though short stature and infertility are almost always present.
Will a turner syndrome baby live?
Yes, many babies born with Turner syndrome go on to live healthy lives with proper medical care and support. Early intervention and management can help address any potential health issues associated with the syndrome. Regular monitoring and treatment can help individuals with Turner syndrome lead full and independent lives.
Is turner syndrome inheritable or random?
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.
