Answers
Symptoms representing a particular disease due to chromosomal abnormalities are referred to B) Syndrome
B) Syndrome:
A syndrome is a collection of medical signs and symptoms that are related to one another and are frequently linked to a specific disease or disorder. When there is an error in cell division, chromosome abnormalities usually occur.
Explanation for incorrect answer:
A) Sex mosaic:
If a person has more than one component of sex chromosomes, they are said to have "sex chromosome mosaicism." As a result, this is the incorrect answer
C) Lethal:
A lethal recessive allele is always present on balancer chromosomes. This means that an organism will not live if it receives two copies of the balancer chromosome, one from the mother and one from the father. so this is the wrong answer.
D) Pedigree;
An autosomal dominant trait or disorder can be seen in this pedigree. The gene is autosomal, which means it is located on a chromosome that is not a sex chromosome (X or Y). so this is the wrong answer.
As a result, symptoms that represent a specific disease caused by chromosomal abnormalities are referred to as Syndromes.
