There are a few mutations caused by entire chromosome changes. The times the number of chromosome can change can occur when the duplicated chromosomes pull apart and then produce a cell missing a chromosome or having an additional one.
For example, XO or XXX or XXY. These are the sex chromosomes where XO means that either the second X is missing, or the Y is missing. Normal would be XX (female) or XY (male). These individuals are able to live with these added or deleted genes. All other missing or additional chromosomes are not compatible with life.

From another angle: beneficial and detrimental.
Insertion, Deletion and Frameshift mutation. These are the 3 basic types of mutation, however, there are other types of mutations: substitution, translocation, duplication, inversion, transversion and transition.
A deletion mutation can take genes away from a chromosome.
a gene is passed on from generations and a chromosome is just found in certain cells
Four types of chromosomal mutations are Down syndrome (which is a mutation in which there are three copies of chromosome 21), Kinefelter Syndrome (which is a mutation in which a male has an extra X-chromosome), Turner Syndrome (which is a mutation in which a female is missing an X-chromosome), and Patau Syndrome (which is a mutation in which there are three copies of chromosome 13).
insertion and deletion
Two types of gene mutations are chromosomal and point mutation. Chromosomal mutation alters a cell's chromosomes, while point mutation replaces single-base pair nucleotides with other nucleotides found in RNA or DNA.
