AQA A Level PsychologyGender - Atypical Sex Chromosome Patterns
Example Question
Paper Reference - 7182/3
Two mothers are talking about their respective children Ben and Dido. One of the children
has Turner’s syndrome and the other has Klinefelter’s syndrome.
Ben’s mum says, ‘He had problems at school, and there were physical differences too.’
Dido’s mum says, ‘She did better at schoolwork in some ways than other children. But
physically, there will always be noticeable differences.’
Referring to the comments about Ben and Dido, outline Turner’s syndrome and Klinefelter’s
syndrome.
[4 Marks]
Ben is a male so he has Klinefelter’s which is an XXY chromosome pattern. Some physical
differences between Ben and his peers may be longer limbs and some breast development.
Some problems Ben may have at school are shyness and poorly developed language and
reading skills.
Didio is female so has Turner’s syndrome which is the XO chromosomal pattern. Dido may
be better at English at school, as those with Turner’s have higher than average language
and reading skills. However, physical differences may include a webbed neck and a broad
shield chest.
