The mother and father both carried a recessive allele which were then passed to the daughter. The mother was exposed to a mutagen during early pregnancy that altered the genotype of her daughter. During crossing over, the X chromosome was shuffled and traits were lost during the process. During meiosis, nondisjunction occurred and the sex chromosomes did not separate evenly into gametes of one parent.

![A couple gives birth to a healthy baby girl. As the girl grows and develops, they
later find out she has Turner's Syndrome. Instead of having the genotype XX (the
normal genotype for females) she is missing an X chromosome. This is
determined based on the symptoms of developing no secondary sexual
characteristics, and a karyotype confirming the missing X chromosomes. The
family is trying to understand the cause. Which of the following choices below
