Trisomy X aka "Triple X syndrome" is a disorder that affects females and is characterized by the presence of an additional X chromosome. Normally, females have two X chromosomes; however, females with trisomy X carry three X chromosomes in the nuclei of body cells. To be male requires a Y chomosome - which those with Trisomy X obviously lack.
Trisomy refers to having an extra chromosome - 3 (tri-) instead of 2.
Other types of gender related trisomy include:
XXY Trisomy (Klinefelter syndrome) where males have an extra X chromosome
XYY Trisomy (or simply XYY karotype) is where males have an extra Y chromosome.

Is kleinfelters syndrome recessive?
Kleinfelters is a chromosomal "trisomy" of the sex chromosomes. It is not inherited in a recessive or dominant manner.
What can an extra chromosome do?
Having an extra chromosome, known as trisomy, can lead to genetic disorders such as Down syndrome (trisomy 21) or Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18). These disorders can affect physical and intellectual development, leading to characteristic features and health challenges. The specific impact of an extra chromosome varies depending on which chromosome is affected.
What does it mean for a disorder to be sex-linked?
Sex-linked means it is transmetted to children by only one parent -- usually carried by the female but exhibited by the male children. Male pattern baldness is such a sex-linked trait. This answer is not complete, but to go further would require I explain chromosomes
How could a zygote be produced with an XYY karyotype?
A zygote with an XYY karyotype can be produced through either of these mechanisms: nondisjunction during spermatogenesis, where a sperm cell with an extra Y chromosome fertilizes an egg with an X chromosome, or through an error during mitosis post-fertilization that results in trisomy of the Y chromosome in the developing embryo.
What conditions can aneuploidy of sex chromosomes cause?
An example of aneuploid condition is Down syndrome, is due to three copies of choromosome 21 or trisomy 21.
Is trisomy 18 sex-linked?
yes
Is klinefelter's syndrome monosomy or trisomy?
A trisomy. A monosomy is when there is only one of a chromosome. A trisomy is when there are three of a chromosome. In Klinefelter's syndrome, there are three sex chromosomes.
Can a male with 48 chromosomes survive?
A human male normally has 46 chromosomes. Some configurations of 48 chromosomes would result in a viable male offspring. This individual would have a trisomy of the sex chromosomes such as XYY and also a trisomy of chromosome 21 and have Down Syndrome.
Which of the following are example(s) of trisomy---Turner Syndrome Down's Syndrome or Klinefelter's Syndrome?
Down's Syndrome is an example of trisomy, where there is an extra copy of chromosome 21. Turner Syndrome and Klinefelter's Syndrome are not trisomies; Turner Syndrome is a monosomy of the X chromosome, and Klinefelter's Syndrome is a trisomy of the sex chromosomes (XXY).
I what conditions is caused by a sex-linked gene klinefelters syndrome down syndrome muscular dystrophy?
Klinefelters is sex chromosome trisomy. Down Syndrome is trisomy. One of the most common forms of MD is sex-linked and affects boys more frequently than it does girls.
Is Edwards syndrome autosomal or sex-linked?
Down Syndrome is a trisomy of the 21st chromosome as opposed to an allelic inheritance through the X chromosome. Trisomy is a somatic disorder caused by improper division during gametogenesis (usually of the ovum) that results in 3 copies of the 21st chromosome in the egg once it is fertilized.
Is kleinfelters syndrome recessive?
Kleinfelters is a chromosomal "trisomy" of the sex chromosomes. It is not inherited in a recessive or dominant manner.
Classify the human sex genotype XXX as an example of trisomy or monosomy?
The human sex genotype XXX is an example of trisomy, which means there are three copies of the X chromosome instead of the usual two. This condition is known as Triple X syndrome and does not typically result in severe physical or mental abnormalities.
