- If non-disjunction occur during gamete formation 22 chromosomes and two X chromosome move in one direction and 22 chromosomes and no sex chromosomes moves in opposite direction
- as a result two types of gamete form. one is 22+XX and other is 22+O.
- If this gamete 22+0 fuse with a normal sperm 22+X , a child with turner's syndrome developed, 44+XO. O represent no sex chromosome.
