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).
A human zygote with 47 chromosomes has a condition called trisomy, specifically trisomy 21 if the extra chromosome is chromosome 21. This results in Down syndrome, a genetic disorder characterized by intellectual disability and physical abnormalities.
The condition in which an individual has three copies of a chromosome is called trisomy. It can result in genetic disorders such as Down syndrome, which is caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21.
Klinefelter Syndrome is sex-linked, because it is a genetic defect that results in a male having an extra X chromosome.
Polyploidy is the condition in which a normally diploid cell or organism acquires one or more additional sets of chromosomes. In other words, the polyploid cell or organism has three or more times the haploid chromosome number. Polyploidy arises as the result of total nondisjunction of chromosomes during mitosis or meiosis.
Down syndrome
Down syndrome occurs when an individual receives an extra 21st chromosome.

Klinefelter syndrome is a genetic condition that results when a boy is born with an extra copy of the X chromosome. Klinefelter syndrome is a common genetic condition affecting males.
An abnormal number of chromosomes is called aneuploidy. If a chromosome has 3 of its kind, it is trisomic. The exact condition depends on which gene has the extra chromosome.
The condition in which a diploid cell is missing a chromosome or has an extra chromosome is called aneuploidy.
A trisomy. Trisomies are usually fatal in all chromosome pairs except 5, 13, 21 (these cause Down syndrome), and 23 (The chromosome pair that determines gender)
The condition in which an individual has three copies of a chromosome is called trisomy. It can result in genetic disorders such as Down syndrome, which is caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21.

DOWNS Syndrome.
no, an extra copy of chromosone 21 causes down syndrome
