Domonique oliva · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The extra chromosome in the 21st pair is associated with Down syndrome, which presents with distinct facial features such as wide-set almond-shaped eyes as well as intellectual disability. PKU (phenylketonuria) is caused by the inability to metabolize phenylalanine and requires a special diet to manage. Klinefelter's syndrome involves males having an extra X chromosome, often leading to infertility and other physical traits. Turner's syndrome involves females missing one X chromosome, leading to developmental and physical differences.
