Well, the best answer to that is "Mutant".
Not all the mutations of this class are fatal, and in some cases such offsprings are born.
There is a relatively well-known example of such a case in humans- if I'm not mistaken, chromosomes 23 and 9 are involved, where the combination of the two results in a missing stop-codon, leading to a long protein that is disassembled... but I'm afraid I can'trecall the name of the protein or the disease it is related to. probably a cancer of some sort.
To the above person: You may be thinking of Down syndrome, that can occur if chromosome 23 has an extra copy (due to nondisjunction).
The process in which a section of DNA is exchanged between homologous chromosomes is known as "crossing-over" and is fairly common. So common, in fact, that it happens in every one of us, and does not mean that we will mutate. All it does is effect the possible combination of traits of our children.

What broken part of a chromosome becomes attached to a nonhomologous chromosome with no molecular loss?
genes
An organism becomes a fossil after it what?
rapid burial and hard parts
What are the steps of how a cell becomes an organism?
it takes million of year to evolve in a organism coacervates<nitrates particle<nuetron particle<simple bacteria <complex bacteria<simple organism<complex organism
Is the chromosome of a bacterium wrapped around proteins?
In order to fit within a cell, DNA becomes more compact by wrapping tightly around associated proteins. Chromatids are duplicate halves of a chromosome.
A change in an organism's environment that causes the organism to react is called?
The change is actually a stimulus and when the organism reacts to the stimulus, it becomes a response. Overall, The answer is a stimulus.
How does the cell adjust to the extra X chromosome in female cells?
In females, the extra X chromosome becomes inactive and becomes the Barr body.
How does the cell adjust to the extra X- chromosome in the female cells?
In females, the extra X chromosome becomes inactive and becomes the Barr body.
What broken part of a chromosome becomes attached to a nonhomologous chromosome with no molecular loss?
genes
What is DNA moved from one organism and inserted in another?
The organism becomes genetically modified. There are tomatoes with FISH DNA in them to help prevent certain diseases in the tomatoes.
What are functions of chromosome?
A chromosome is very tightly packed DNA. DNA stores the information that is used to synthesize proteins. Thus the entire makeup and organization of an organism relies on the information stored in the chromosomes. DNA becomes wrapped around proteins known as histones. 8 histones form a structure known as a nucleosome. Multiple nucleosomes condense together with the addition of another histone, H1 to form a 30 nanometer fiber. Scaffolding proteins further pack the 30 nanometer fiber into a chromosome.
What happens to the food web if an organism becomes extinct?
If an organism becomes extinct, the food web collapses. Every organism is needed for it to function properly.
What are threadlike structures that control the traits of organisms?
They are the chromosomes.Each chromosome of a eukaryote consists of one molecule (or, after DNA replication, two molecules) of DNA, running from end to end of the chromosome, plus many protein molecules around which the DNA is coiled. It is the DNA that is the genetic material, which determines whether the organism becomes a rhinoceros or rhubarb.
When the layer of cells that becomes the gut of an organism indents to form a gastrula if the first indentation becomes the mouth of the organism the animal is a?
protostome
What make an organism a pest?
If it becomes a nuisance.
What usually result when an organism fails to maintain?
The organism becomes ill or may die.
What happens to the stored energy as it transfer from one organism to another?
it becomes a kinetic energy.kinetic energy is an energy that is moving moving. example: rolling a ball
What usualli result when an organism fails to maintain homeostasis?
The organism becomes ill or may die.
