Answer:

d. Monosomy X is the only viable monosomy known to occur in humans.

Explanation:

Human have 22 pair of homologous chromosomoses and an extra pair of sex chromosomes. While in males  the sex  chromosomes  are X and  Y , females have two chromosomes X . Anyway, in normal conditions the total number of chromosomomes that humans have in their cells is 46 (23 pair of chromosomes).  

Aneuploidy is a biological condition where an individual have an abnormal number of chromosomes in their cells.  In humans for examples, this would be a human having more or less than 46 chromosomes.

The Turner syndrome also called  monosomy X is an aneuploidy  where  one of the X chromosomes is missing in a female.  Although under constant supervision, people with Turner syndrome have viable healthy lives. However this is the only monosomy that occur in humans that is compatible with life.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Diabetes insipidus is a disease characterized by excessive thirst and the excretion of large amounts of highly diluted urine, which can not be reduced by a reduction in fluid intake.

Diabetes insipidus is due to a deficiency of antidiuretic hormone or insensitivity of the kidneys to this hormone. This hormone causes water reabsorption via action on the distal segment of the nephron during dehydration.

Doctors are seeing an alarming increase in the number of cases of tuberculosis (TB) that is resistant to drugs commonly used to
WARRIOR [948]

Ans.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection that affects mainly respiratory tract and can be transmitted from one to another person through contaminated air. The causative agent of tuberculosis, <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> has developed resistance against many antibiotics, such as rifampin and isoniazid, which is known as tuberculosis drug resistance.

If a person infected with TB shows drug resistance against some TB drugs, 'doctors should give other TB drugs to that person, even if these drugs show less effect than common drugs'. This is because these drugs can prevent or kill the bacterium more effectively than the common drugs for which, bacterium is resistance.
