How does Turner’s syndrome differ genetically from Klinefelter’s syndrome?
1. Turner’s syndrome results from an additional chromosome; Klinefelter’s results from a missing chromosome.
2. Turner’s syndrome involves monosomy (45, XO); Klinefelter’s involves trisomy (47, XXY).
3. Both are due to duplication of sex chromosomes.
4. Turner’s affects males, while Klinefelter’s affects females.

Klinefelter's syndrome (47, XXY) results from nondisjunction during gamete formation. Arrange the following events in the correct sequence that leads to this condition:
P: Fertilisation of abnormal egg by normal sperm
Q: Nondisjunction of sex chromosomes during meiosis I or II
R: Formation of gamete with two X chromosomes
S: Zygote develops with 47 chromosomes (44 autosomes + XXY)
1. Q → P → R → S
2. R → Q → S → P
3. P → Q → R → S
4. Q → R → P → S
