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.

∙ 12y agoPartial trisomy generally causes less severe physical symptoms than full trisomy. Ten percent of these cases are of the mosaic type, in which only some of the body's cells have the extra chromosome.

What causes monosomy?
The l virus that usually causes mononucleosis is the "Epstein-Barr virus". However it can also be caused by "Cytomegalovirus".
How many pairs of chrosomes do humans have?
There are a total of 23 pairs (22 chromosome pairs, plus another pair determining sex) for a total of 46 chromosomes for a normal human being. There are various chromosomal abnormalities in which an individual may have more than (trisomy) or less than (monosomy) than 46.
Which monosomy can a human have and still survive?
Monosomy X (Turner syndrome) is the only known survivable monosomy.
If a human gamete with an extra chromosome participates in fertilization with a normal gamete what conditions result?
It depends on what's missing. Zygotes missing a chromosome (monosomy) have 45 chromosomes and many do survive; some human monosomies are monosomy 7, 11 or 13. A monosomy X results in Turner syndrome; there must be at least one X chromosome, or the embryo won't survive.
Trisomy is a mutation that results in a cell having an extra?
A trisomy is a condition in which a person has three copies of a chromosome instead of the usual two copies. A person can have full trisomy (three copies in every cell) or mosaic trisomy (three copies in some cells but not all).
Is huntingtons disease monosomy or trisomy?
Monosomy
Is color blindness monosomy or trisomy?
trisomy
Is klinefelter's syndrome monosomy or trisomy?
A trisomy. A monosomy is when there is only one of a chromosome. A trisomy is when there are three of a chromosome. In Klinefelter's syndrome, there are three sex chromosomes.
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.
What causes monosomy?
The l virus that usually causes mononucleosis is the "Epstein-Barr virus". However it can also be caused by "Cytomegalovirus".
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.
How many pairs of chrosomes do humans have?
There are a total of 23 pairs (22 chromosome pairs, plus another pair determining sex) for a total of 46 chromosomes for a normal human being. There are various chromosomal abnormalities in which an individual may have more than (trisomy) or less than (monosomy) than 46.
What is the different autochromosomal abnormalities?
Common autosomal chromosomal abnormalities include Down syndrome (trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18), Patau syndrome (trisomy 13), and Turner syndrome (monosomy X). These abnormalities result from errors in chromosome number, leading to characteristic physical and developmental features. Diagnosis is often made through genetic testing such as karyotyping or chromosomal microarray analysis.
Which monosomy can a human have and still survive?
Monosomy X (Turner syndrome) is the only known survivable monosomy.
Classify the human sex genotype XXX as an example of trisomy or monosomy?
It is trisomy of sex chromosomes. Normally, a human girl would be XX genotypically, but she inherits an extra X from either her mother or her father (due to nondisjunction in either one parent's gametes in meosis) so she has one extra chromosome, or a triploidy A normal human is diploid, so they would have XX A triploid is one extra X So it is XXX
