Accepted Answer

Monosomy refers to the condition where an individual has only one copy of a particular chromosome instead of the typical two copies. Turner's syndrome is caused by the absence of one of the X chromosomes in females, leading to a monosomy of the X chromosome. The other options listed involve other types of chromosomal abnormalities or mutations.
