What are three disorders caused by missing or extra chromosomes?
1) down's syndrome2) turner syndrome3) jacob's syndrome
What is the medical term meaning condition in which a person has an abnormal number of chromosomes?
The general term is aneuploidy. Some examples: Down Syndrome is a commonly known condition in which the person has an extra copy, making three, of the 21st chromosome. Others are Edwards Syndrome (an extra 18th) and Patau Syndrome (and extra 13th).
How are cells of a person with Down syndrome different from those of a person without the disorder?
In Down syndrome, a person's cells have an extra copy of chromosome 21. In other words, instead of a pair of chromosomes, a person with Down syndrome has three of that chromosome. Down syndrome most often occurs when chromosomes fail to separate properly during meiosis. People with Down syndrome have a degree of mental retardation. Heart defects are also common, but can be treated.

What is the genetic disorder for having three 21 chromosomes?
down syndrome
What happen lack of chromosomes?
If there is a lack of chromosomes, then the full genetic structure of a human being cannot be reproduced because a human is made up of forty-three chromosomes (twenty-three from each parent) and if one is missing, there will only be forty-five, which will not reproduce a human being.

Is klinefelter's syndrome monosomy or trisomy?
A trisomy. A monosomy is when there is only one of a chromosome. A trisomy is when there are three of a chromosome. In Klinefelter's syndrome, there are three sex chromosomes.
What common condition is caused by the presence of three copies is chromosomes 21?
Down syndrome
What happens if you have more or less chromosomes?
If you have one additional pair of CHROMOSOME 23, you have DOWN SYNDROME.If a person has fewer than 46 chromosomes, they will die. With more than 46 chromosomes, it depends on the chromosome type , but mostly disorders or syndromes will occur. Death is also a possibility in this case.AnswerThe condition wherein the number of chromosomes in a individual is more or less than the expected number of chromosomes is called aneuploidy.Examples include Down's Sydrome (three sets of chromosome 21), Klinefelter's syndrome (one extra X chromosome in males), Turner's syndrome (one X chromosome less in females), Edward syndrome (extra chromosome 18).
Why is monosomy worse than trisomy?
Monosomy occurs when one chromosome is absent from the normal diploid number. This is referred to as aneuploidy which is the loss or gain of a chromosome during meiosis.An example of monosomy is Turner Syndrome. One of the sex chromosomes is missing. In an unaffected female there are 2 'X' chromosomes. But in Turner Syndrome there is one sex chromosome missing.Trisomy occurs when there is three copies of a chromosome instead of the normal diploid number. This is also referred to as aneuploidy because there was an extra chromosome added hence, an abnormal amount of chromosomes.An example of trisomy is in Trisomy 21(Downs Syndrome) in which chromosome 21 has an extra chromosome.
