The variant of sex chromosome nondisjunction that is not observed due to the necessity of maternal chromosomes for viability is the presence of a Y chromosome without an X chromosome, specifically the 45,Y (Turner syndrome) condition. In humans, a viable organism requires at least one X chromosome; thus, a monosomy for the X chromosome (45,Y) is nonviable. In contrast, conditions like Turner syndrome (45,X) involve the loss of one X chromosome but still have one functioning X, allowing for some degree of viability.
