Solution

Turner syndrome is a genetic condition in females that is characterized by a missing or partially missing X chromosome.

Here are the steps to answer your question:

  1. Normal human cells contain 46 chromosomes, which includes 2 sex chromosomes (XX for females, XY for males).
  2. In Turner syndrome, one of the sex chromosomes is missing or partially missing. This means that instead of 46 chromosomes, individuals with Turner syndrome have 45 chromosomes.
  3. The equation you provided (n + 12n - 12n + 1n - 1) seems unrelated to the question. If n is the number of chromosomes, then this equation simplifies to n, which doesn't provide additional information about the number of chromosomes in Turner syndrome.

So, an individual with Turner syndrome typically has 45 chromosomes.
