What is an extra set of chromosome?
The condition in which an organism has complete extra sets of chromosomes is called polyploidy. This condition can cause a number of severe birth defects. Most do not live a full lifespan for their species.
What is a chromosomal disorder that could result from nondisjunction?
Disorders, such as Down's Syndrome, are caused by nondisjunction.
Whether each and every human cell posses 46 chromosomes?
no, normally humans do have 46, but certain mutations or genetic disorders can result in more, less, or fused chromosomes. the most common example of missing chromosomes is down's syndrome. when someone has an extra chromosome(s) it's called polyploidy. i can't tell you too much about fused chromosomes.
What will happen if sex cells carry diploid chromosomes?
It will result 4n cells.Chromosomal number will be doubled from generation to generation. It also will result in abnormal individuals that may not to be able to adapt. Down's Syndrome and Turner's Syndrome are examples of this.
What is nondisjunction in chromosomes and what is the result?
Nondisjunction is the failure of chromosome pairs to separate properly during cell division. This can result in an abnormal number of chromosomes in the daughter cells, which can lead to genetic disorders such as Down syndrome.
Is down's syndrome a result of aneuploidy?
No. Down Syndrome is caused by polyploidy of 21st chromosome (trisomy-2n+1 condition).

What is a chromosomal disorder that could result from nondisjunction?
Disorders, such as Down's Syndrome, are caused by nondisjunction.
Which one is not a genetic disorder color blindness hemophilia cystic fibrosis down syndrome?
Down syndrome is a polyploidy (three chromosome 21s)and is considered to be a somatic disorder. The other three are genetic because they are present in the form of a defective allele on achromosome.
The process that result in Down syndrome is called?
Nondisjunction
Causes Down Syndrome?
Having an extra copy of chromosome 21. You are supposed to have 2; when you have 3 (trisomy 21), Down's Syndrome is the result.
What term reffers to the occourrance of one or more sets of extra chromosomes in an organism?
Trisomy refers to the occurrence of an extra chromosome in an organism, leading to a total of three copies of a particular chromosome instead of the usual pair. This can result in genetic disorders such as Down syndrome, which is caused by trisomy 21.
What is 48xxyy?
48,XXYY syndrome is a sex chromosome anomaly in which males have an extra X and Y chromosome. AKA Polyploidy
If a pregnant woman takes Procardia can this cause her to bear a baby with Down syndrome?
Down syndrome is a genetic defect and is the result of an extra chromosome at the time of conception. The use of Procardia (or any other drug) does not cause Down syndrome.
Is a kiwifruit a polyploidy?
Yes, kiwi fruit is a polyploidy.

What are polyploidy and when is this condition useful?
Polyploidy is a condition where an organism has more than two sets of chromosomes. It can be useful in plant breeding, as it can lead to increased genetic diversity, larger plant size, and enhanced resistance to diseases and environmental stresses. However, polyploidy can also result in reproductive isolation and infertility in some cases.
