Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of monosomy: Monosomy is a type of aneuploidy where there is a missing chromosome in the pair, resulting in a total of 45 chromosomes instead of the normal 46 in humans.

Review the characteristics of Turner syndrome: Turner syndrome is a condition where a female is missing one of her X chromosomes, resulting in a 45,X karyotype. This is an example of monosomy.

Differentiate Turner syndrome from other conditions: Down syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, and Edwards syndrome are not examples of monosomy. Down syndrome is trisomy 21, Klinefelter syndrome is 47,XXY, and Edwards syndrome is trisomy 18.

Recognize the chromosomal pattern: Turner syndrome is the only condition among the options that involves a single missing chromosome, fitting the definition of monosomy.

Conclude that Turner syndrome is the correct example of monosomy from the given options.
