Question

which genetic disorder fits below description

47 chromosome; XXY karyotype. Affected individuals have low levels of testosterone, enlarged breasts, small testicles, and are phenotypically male.

47 chromosomes; XXY karyotype.  These males appear to be normal although some display slight differences in their EEG patterns.

45 chromosomes; XO karyotpe.  These individuals are phenotypically female but have streak ovaries and no ova are prduces and they do not menstruate.  This is the only survivable disorder involving a chromosome number less than 46. 

Expert Solution
Step 1

when karyotyping is done, it provides the entire chromosome set of an organism with the appropriate homologous pairs.

in humans, in general, we have 46 chromosomes [23 pairs]

sometimes we have trisomy in certain pairs, like chromosome 21, 13, the XX or Xy chromosome, in cases like this the person suffers from incurable syndromes like Down's, Patua's, Klinefelter's etc.

a karyotyping exam before the birth of a fetus can help in identifying such syndromes, and MTP can be suggested.
