Tina was having trouble conceiving a child. She went to the doctor to determine if she could have a child. After running some blood tests, it was determined that Tina has Turner syndrome
Explain what Turner syndrome is and then determine whether or not Tina is fertile.
What will be an ideal response?
Students' answers will vary but should contain an understanding of the following: Turner syndrome is a sex chromosome abnormality, where girls are missing one of their X chromosomes. It occurs in roughly 1/2,000 females. It results in a short stature, webbed neck, broad shoulders, spatial perception and motor skill deficits, as well as a range of other health problems. Individuals with Turner syndrome are infertile, so Tina will not be able to conceive a child naturally.
