Which of the following conditions is described as having rudimentary or streak ovaries?

Options

• Turner's Syndrome

• Triple X Syndrome

Answer 1

Turner's Syndrome is characterized by rudimentary or streak ovaries, which develop abnormally and lack functional ovarian tissue. This results in absent secondary sexual characteristics, primary amenorrhoea (absence of menstruation), and primary ovarian insufficiency with infertility. Despite these features, intelligence remains normal in most individuals with Turner's Syndrome.
