Aneuploidy: Is when an uncomplete gamete unites with a complete gamete to form an unequal value of chromosomes in the zygote. There are two forms that may exist in aneuploidy, Trisomic (2n+1) and monosomic (2n-1).

An aneuploid individual has either too many or too few chromosomes, usually as a result of nondisjunction.
