What is the karyotype of color blindness?
Colorblindness and trisomy 21 .
What condition is caused by the failure of chromosomes to separate in meiosis?
The condition that is caused is a trisomy or a monosomy
Is Down syndrome also known as Monosomy 21?
No, that is false. Down Syndrome is also known as Trisomy-21. Monosomy is a condition where one chromosome is missing from what should be a pair in every cell throughout the body. Trisomy indicates a chromosome has three copies instead of a pair.
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.
What causes monosomy?

What do you call it if a person is missing a chromosome?
If a person is missing a chromosome, it is known as monosomy. Monosomy occurs when there is only one copy of a particular chromosome instead of the usual two copies. For example, a person missing one copy of chromosome 21 would have a condition called monosomy 21 or trisomy 21, which is also known as Down syndrome.
What is Monosomy?
Here are two examples that result in 'early fetal death' - Trisomy 13 and Trisomy 18. Meaning that when the normal [genetic] chromosomal complement is a chromosome pair, three copies of each chromosome are present and this is lethal.
