Answer:
Monosomy is the state of having a single copy of a chromosome pair instead of the usual two copies found in diploid cells.
When a gene is present on the X chromosome, but not on the Y chromosome, it is said to be X-linked.
Explanation:
Monosomy: Missing one chromosome from a pair. For example, if a female has one X chromosome (X monosomy) rather than two, she has Turner syndrome.
In an X-linked or sex linked disease, it is usually males that are affected because they have a single copy of the X chromosome that carries the mutation.
