Klinefelters Syndrome
Figure 1 
Genetics
In 1942 there was a doctor, Dr. Klinefelter, who discovered this disorder. They published a report of men with enlarged breasts, small testes that are unable to produce sperm. This disorder is very serious. Later on in the early 1950's they discovered that it results in having an extra chromosome. So instead of just being XY it would be XXY as shown above in figure 1. About 1 in 500 to 1,000 men have this disorder.

Babies with Klinefelter's develop slower than normal children. They are weak and it's harder for them to walk around or even crawl sometimes. When the boys grow older they have control problems. They are either overly aggresive or extremely emotional and immature.

Make sure you have references your pictures in some form to explain them. For example when you mention Dr. Klinefelter you could put (Figure 2) next to his name. I assuming that is him in the picture. You could also reference Fig. 1 when you talk about the chromosomes.
