Step-by-step solution
Down's syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of an additional copy of chromosome , also known as Trisomy .
Turner's syndrome is caused by the absence of one of the X chromosomes, resulting in a , X karyotype.
Klinefelter's syndrome is caused by the presence of an additional X chromosome, resulting in a , XXY karyotype.
Thalassemia is an autosomal recessive blood disorder.
Therefore, an extra copy of the st chromosome causes Down's syndrome.
