Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cri du chat syndrome is a deletion of a portion of chromosome 5. Down syndrome or trisomy 21 is nondisjunction of the 21^st chromosome; this leads to an extra copy of the chromosome. Fragile X syndrome results from a repeated segment of nucleotides on the X chromosome. Turner syndrome is the inheritance of a single X chromosome (XO). Klinefelter syndrome is the inheritance of two X chromosomes and one Y chromosome.Bloom's
