प्रश्न
Describe Klinefelter’s syndrome.
उत्तर
- It is a chromosomal disorder caused by an extra X chromosome in males. Thus genotype of individuals is 44 + XXY. They are described as feminized males.
- The extra chromosome is a result of the non-disjunction of the X-chromosome during meiosis in the formation of the ovum.
- Such an individual is male and has overall masculine development. The voice pitch is harsh and has underdeveloped testis. They are tall with long arms, showing feminine development. Voice pitch is harsh and have under developed testis.
- They are tall with long arms, showing feminine development and no spermatogenesis; therefore, individuals are sterile.

Turner's syndrome is an example of monosomy. It is formed by the union of an allosome-free egg and a normal 'X' containing sperm or a normal egg and an allosome-free sperm.

Such individuals are sterile females who have rudimentary ovaries, underdeveloped breasts, small uterus, short stature, webbed neck, and abnormal intelligence. They may not menstruate or ovulate.

According to Mendel, one gene controls the expression of one character only. The ability of a gene to have multiple phenotypic effects because it influences a number of characters are an exception. The gene has multiple phenotypic effects because its ability to control two or more characters can be seen in cotton. In cotton, a gene for the lint also influences the height of the plant, size of the ball, number of ovules, and viability of seeds.
Which of the following disorder is an example of genes with multiple phenotypic effects?
