The person with karyotype 44+XXY is suffering from:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Klinefelter's Syndrome
Option (1) Down's Syndrome — Incorrect. Down's syndrome is trisomy of chromosome 21, an extra autosome. The sex chromosomes are normal.
Option (2) Klinefelter's Syndrome — Correct. 44 autosomes + XXY = 47 chromosomes. The person is male but sterile, with some feminine features.
Option (3) Turner's Syndrome — Incorrect. Turner's syndrome is the loss of one X chromosome (44 + X0, 45 chromosomes) in females.
Option (4) Edward's Syndrome — Incorrect. Edward's syndrome is trisomy of chromosome 18, an autosome. NCERT does not describe it; it does not involve the sex chromosomes.
NCERT Extract:
Chromosomal Disorders – “… Klinefelter’s Syndrome : This genetic disorder is also caused due to the presence of an additional copy of X-chromosome resulting into a karyotype of 47, XXY. Such an individual has overall masculine development, however, the feminine development (development of breast, i.e., Gynaecomastia) is also expressed (Figure 4.17 a).”
