Is Turner Syndrome dominant or recessive?

PsyDAG
Genes are often dominant or recessive. Since one X chromosome is missing in Turner Syndrome, it doesn't matter, since there is no other X chromosome with a pairing gene.

Trick question: it's sex-linked. So, recessive in females and dominant in men. Rarely will you see a sex-linked gene that is sex-linked dominant, but they do exist.

I apologize. PsyDAG is correct. Turner syndrome is a monosomy trait. So, it's not considered recessive, dominant, or sex-linked.
