Correct Answer
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.

Correct Answer
B. The sex chromosome presented in both sexes

Explanation
An X chromosome is a sex chromosome that is present in both sexes. It is one of the two types of sex chromosomes, the other being the Y chromosome. 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.

Correct Answer
X
X

doubled

Explanation
Fragile X syndrome is a genetic disorder that can only occur in the X chromosome. The X chromosome is a sex chromosome that is present in both males and females. In males, they have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes. Therefore, the number of X chromosomes is single in males and doubled in females.

  Girls
- B.
  
  Dogs
- C.
  
  Cats
- D.
  
  Boys
- E.
  
  Aliens
Correct Answer
D. Boys

Explanation
Fragile X Syndrome is a genetic disorder that is caused by a mutation in the FMR1 gene on the X chromosome. Since boys have only one X chromosome, while girls have two, they are more likely to be affected by the syndrome. This is because if a boy inherits the mutated gene, he does not have a second healthy X chromosome to compensate for the mutation. Girls, on the other hand, have a second X chromosome that may carry a healthy copy of the gene, reducing the chances of developing Fragile X Syndrome. Therefore, the condition shows up more in boys.
