Monosomy is a genetic condition characterized by the absence of one chromosome from a pair, resulting in an individual having a total of 45 chromosomes instead of the normal 46. This condition can lead to various developmental and health issues, depending on which chromosome is missing. A well-known example of monosomy is Turner syndrome, where there is a complete or partial absence of one X chromosome in females. Monosomy can arise from errors during cell division, particularly during meiosis.
