No, Klinefelter syndrome and Turner syndrome are the result of nondisjunction of sex chromosomes. Klinefelter syndrome is caused by an extra X chromosome (XXY), while Turner syndrome is due to a missing X chromosome (XO).
People with Klinefelter's syndrome are not hermaphrodites, and people who are hermaphrodites do not have Klinefelter's syndrome.
The only genotype to cause Klinefelter's syndrome is XXY.
Mr. Klinefelter
Klinefelter's syndrome was first identified in 1942 by Harry Klinefelter and his colleagues. They described a group of men with underdeveloped testes and other characteristic features that became known as Klinefelter's syndrome.
there are five base pairs in klinefelter syndrome
what is kinefelter syndrome?
Klinefelter's syndrome is not considered to be a variation of normal, so by definition it is abnormal.
About 1/1000 to 1/500 males have Klinefelter's syndrome.
The genotype for a person suffering with Klinefelter's syndrome is XXY.
X-inactivation typically occurs in individuals with Klinefelter syndrome, which is characterized by having an extra X chromosome (XXY). However, the extra X chromosome in Klinefelter syndrome may not undergo inactivation completely, leading to some cells expressing genes from the additional X chromosome. This can result in a variety of symptoms and characteristics associated with Klinefelter syndrome.
The parents have normal genotypes, because Klinefelter's syndrome is not inherited.
