Klinefelter’s syndrome.
Turner’s syndrome.
Sickle cell anemia.
Down’s syndrome.
To solve this problem, we need to identify which disease is caused by an autosomal primary non-disjunction. Let's analyze each option:Klinefelter’s syndrome: - Klinefelter’s syndrome is a genetic condition that affects males, caused by the presence of an extra X chromosome (XXY). - It is a result of non-disjunction of sex chromosomes, not autosomes.Turner’s syndrome: - Turner’s syndrome is a condition affecting females, where one of the X chromosomes is missing or partially missing (XO). - This is also due to non-disjunction of sex chromosomes.Sickle cell anemia: - Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the hemoglobin-beta gene found on chromosome 11. - It is not caused by non-disjunction but by a point mutation.Down’s syndrome: - Down’s syndrome, also known as Trisomy 21, is caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21. - This is a result of autosomal primary non-disjunction.Therefore, the disease caused by an autosomal primary non-disjunction is Down’s syndrome.This corresponds to Option 4.
