Which Would Be Most Useful in Detecting Turner Syndrome

Question

Which would be most useful in detecting Turner syndrome?
A) a pedigree
B) a Punnett square
C) a karyotype
D) Both A and B would be useful in detecting Turner syndrome.

Accepted Answer

A karyotype would be the most useful in detecting Turner syndrome, as it involves examining the individual's chromosomes for any abnormalities. A pedigree and Punnett square are both used to track the inheritance of traits in a family, but would not necessarily reveal whether an individual has Turner syndrome.
