What is the difference between a chromosomal anomoly and a genetic disorder?

A chromosomal anomaly is just as it seems, an abnormality which is an "error"occurring during DNA coding. These errors could occur during gamete (sperm and egg) development (meosis), or possibly later on during normal cell division (mitosis). The later of these scenarios would result in a condition know as mosaicism, which is when not all of one's cells have the anomaly.
A genetic disorder, although also a part of one's chromosome which is not functioning as intended, is a genetic "alteration" which is essentially a chromosomal anomaly which can have a traceable family history. however, these are not "errors" as the the genes for these can be found in one's parent's DNA.
Chromosomes can be inherited, but, as I said, they are produced by errors, while genetic disorders are acquired when a parent passes on a gene that they carry.
Good Luck

What is the difference between plasmid and episomes?
Plasmid DNA is an extra-chromosomal DNA molecule, it cannot link up with chromosomal DNA, and it contains the genetic informations that are necessary for its own replication. Episomes is any kind of extra-chromosomal DNA that can link up with chromosomal DNA. That is the main difference between them two. Episomes are usually larger than other extra-chromosomal DNA. An example of episome are the viruses, because they intergrate their genetic material into the host's chromosomal DNA.The only difference between the plasmid and the episome is the integration i-e plasmid can not integrate while episome can integrate into the genome.
