Nullisomy, the loss of both copies of a chromosome, can have severe consequences for an organism. It often leads to lethality in embryos due to the absence of essential genes located on the missing chromosome. In organisms that can survive, nullisomy can result in developmental abnormalities, impaired growth, and reduced fertility due to the disruption of normal genetic balance. In some cases, the loss of specific chromosomes may also lead to increased susceptibility to diseases.
