Answer: A tsunami is a giant wave (or series of waves) created by an undersea earthquake, volcanic eruption or landslide. Tsunamis are often called tidal waves, but this is not an accurate description because tides have little effect on giant tsunami waves.
Xyy redirects here. For the CIE XyY colour model, see XyY. XYY syndrome is a genetic condition in which a human male has an extra male (Y) chromosome, giving a total of 47 chromosomes instead of the more usual 46. This produces a 47,XYY karyotype, which occurs every 1 in 1,000 male births.or the CIE XyY colour model, see XyY.

A normal female has 46 chromosomes, including 2 X-chromosomes (44XX). With Turnerâs syndrome, the female patient only has one X chromosome or has an abnormality in one of the X-chromosome. Some conditions only have a missing X chromosome in some cells, but not others. This condition is called Turnerâs mosaicism. Turnerâs syndrome occurs in 0.05% of the female population.
