    A. Fragile x syndrome is something that affects the x chromosome and may cause mental retardation
    Explanation
    Fragile X syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the X chromosome and is associated with intellectual disability. It is caused by a mutation in the FMR1 gene, which leads to a lack of production of a protein necessary for normal brain development. This condition primarily affects males, although females can also be carriers. Symptoms of fragile X syndrome may include learning disabilities, social and behavioral challenges, and physical characteristics such as a long face and large ears. The severity of the condition can vary, with some individuals experiencing mild cognitive impairment while others may have more significant intellectual disabilities.

In humans, females have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The X chromosome carries genes that are responsible for various traits and characteristics. It plays a crucial role in determining the sex of an individual and is involved in the development of reproductive organs and secondary sexual characteristics.
