This questions was previously asked in
EPFO AO EO 2021
Chromosome number 21
Incorrect AnswerChromosome number 18
Incorrect AnswerX-chromosome
Correct AnswerChromosome number 13
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- In normal human males, chromosomes come in pairs, except for the sex chromosomes.
- Chromosome number 21, 18, and 13 are autosomes, and in normal males (and females), they exist as matched pairs (two copies of each).
- The X-chromosome in males is paired with a Y chromosome, not another X chromosome. This makes them a mismatched (XY) pair, unlike XX in females.
- Therefore, Option 3: X-chromosome is the chromosome with a mismatched pair in a normal human male.
Correct Answer: Option 3 - X-chromosome
