a
(a): A human female with Turner’s syndrome has single sex chromosome $i.e., 44 + X0 (45)$. Such females are called sterile females with rudimentary ovaries. Other associated phenotypes of this condition are short stature, webbed­neck, broad chest, lack of secondarysexual characteristics and sterility. Thus, any imbalance in the copies of the sex chromosomes may disrupt the genetic information necessary for normal sexual development.
