What happens if you have more than one chromosomes?

Answer 1

Individuals with additional chromosomes beyond the normal 2N complement are generally nonviable and the few exceptions that result in a live offspring are still profoundly affected in a negative way. he presence of additional sex chromosomes often have less profound effects.

Answer 2

if you have an extra pair of 21 chromosomes, you will have down syndrome. if you have a 23 pair of chromosomes then i believe that you will be super human, (very fast, very strong, heals in seconds and will be almost invincible.

When talking about Down syndrome you don't get an extra pair of chromosomes, you get a single extra chromosome on the 21 pair of chromosomes.

Answer 3

Depends on what chromosome. Usually if you have an excess of genetic information it's not as harmful as a loss of genetic information. For example, Down Syndrome is trisonomy 21 - an extra chromosome #21.

Answer 4

The most likely scenario is that an organism with this type of flaw would die as a conceptus also termed EED (early embryonic death). The chances of anything approaching viability are so low as to be near zero...and that is only because one can never say never since there may be some stray species out there that may be fine with that much additional DNA

Answer 5

Having more than one set of chromosomes is called polyploidy, which can occur in plants and some other organisms. Polyploidy can lead to changes in gene expression, morphology, and fertility. In humans, having extra chromosomes can lead to genetic disorders such as Down syndrome.

Answer 6

If you have too many chromosomes then you will gain a genetic disorder

Answer 7

It would be bad if you had less than 45 chromosomes, as a human body has 46 chromosomes.

Answer 8

dead kid unless the extra is number 21, then down syndrome.

Answer 9

Trisomy (three chromosomes) generally results in non-viable or developmentally impaired offspring.
