Turner's syndrome

Question

Would the diagnosis of Turner's syndrome in a single somatic cell necessarily mean that every somatic cell of the body would conatin 45 chromosomes?explain

Answer 1

Turner's Syndrome affects girls.  One X Chromosome is usually missing.  There can be cells that are fine, but other cells are not.  This also can affect all the cells, where all of them are missing a chromosome.  Furthermore, there can be cells that have two X Chromosomes with the second one being a partial second chromosome.  Some girls are more affected by it than other girls.

 

I hope this helps.  If it does, please give me a thumbs up.
