Solution
The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
Turners syndrome occurs due absence of X chromosome. Individuals
having a single X chromosome 2A+XO (45) have female sexual
differentiation but ovaries are rudimentary. Other associated phenotypes
of this condition are short stature, webbed-neck, broad chest, lack of
secondary sexual characteristics and sterility. Thus, any imbalance in
the copies of the sex chromosomes may disrupt the genetic information
necessary for normal sexual development.
So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect'.
