What happens when an individual has an odd number of chromosome sets eg triploidy?

Most odd chromosome pregnancies do not go full term, or the babies do not survive long after birth. However, some babies do survive. There are often times that the extra chromosome has no effect, but other times it shows itself with conditions such as Down syndrome.

In humans one X chromosome is required for viability

The presence of only one X chromosome results in an infertile female.

How abnormal number of any chromosome gets into gamete?
That happens in Ana phase.When a chromosome is not split in centromere,a chromosome fully moves to a daughter cell.
How do chromosome mutations affect an individual?
Chromosome mutations can result in changes in the number of chromosomes in a cell or changes in the structure of a chromosome. Unlike a gene mutation which alters a single gene or larger segment of DNA on a chromosome, chromosome mutations change and impact the entire chromosome.
What happens to the chromosomes number by the end of meiosis?
The chromosome number at the end of meiosis is half of the parent cell
What is the number of chromosome pairs a normal human has?
Humans have 46 individual chromosomes. Which translate into 23 pairs.Â
What happens to the chromosome number between parent cell and daughter cell?
I dont think theres a certain number between them both
What is triploidy?
Triploidy refers to a condition where an individual has 1.5 times the normal number of chromosomes. Egg and sperm cells are haploid (have n number of chromosomes). Normal cells are diploid (have 2n number of chromosomes). The exact cause of triploidy in humans is not known. It may be caused when more than one sperm fertilize a single egg. Triploidy may be preferred and cultivated in plants in order to increase productivity.

What happens at the conclusion of meiosis 1?
Homologous chromosomes are separated.

What is hetroploidy?
Do you mean Heteroploidy...it is a medical term, an individual or cell possessing a chromosome number other than the normal diploid number
What happens if a gamete has the same number of a chromosome?
You'd be a multicellular diploid adult (2n=46)
Why is the second meiotic division necessary if the reproduction of chromosome number is accomplished by the first division?
You need the second step to further divide the chromosome into two halves. When that happens the sex cells will have half the chromosomes and when combined with the other sex cell that will produce an individual with one half from the father and one half from the mother.
What is the modal chromosome number?
The modal chromosome number is the most common chromosome number within a population or sample.
What happens to the chromosome number between parent cell and daughter cell?
I dont think theres a certain number between them both
How does the chromosome number in a diploid cell differ from the chromosome number in a haploid cell?
The chromosome number in hapliod cell is 1 while the dipliod chromosome has 2
