What conditions can aneuploidy of sex chromosomes cause?
An example of aneuploid condition is Down syndrome, is due to three copies of choromosome 21 or trisomy 21.
What mutation cause changes in the number of chromosome?
Aneuploidy mutation causes a change in the number of chromosomes. Aneuploidy occurs during cell division when the chromosomes do not separate properly resulting in a change in the number of chromosomes.
How is the correct number of chromosomes maintained during sexual reproduction?
During sexual reproduction, the correct number of chromosomes is maintained through a process called meiosis, which reduces the chromosome number in half. This ensures that when two gametes (sperm and egg) combine during fertilization, the resulting zygote has the correct number of chromosomes for that species.
A situation in which chromosome number can be represented as either 2n plus 1 or 2n-1 is called?
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.
How many chromosomes do birds have?
Nearly each species of bird has its own unique number of chromosomes. It can be very difficult to determine the exact number because many of these chromosomes are highly fragmented into multiple 'microchromosomes.' In short, the answer is: "It depends..."

What is an aneugen?
An aneugen is an aneugenic agent, an agent which induces aneuploidy, the state of possessing a number of chromosomes which is not an exact multiple of the haploid number.
What is euploid?
Euploid refers to cells or organisms with a chromosome number that is an exact multiple of the haploid number for that species. In humans, the haploid number is 23, so euploid cells would have a total of 46 chromosomes. Euploidy is contrasted with aneuploidy, which involves cells having an abnormal number of chromosomes.
Does every species has a characteristic number of chromosomes?
No, different species have different numbers of chromosomes. Humans have 46 chromosomes, dogs have 78 chromosomes, and horses have 64 chromosomes, for example. The number of chromosomes in a species typically remains constant within that species.
How is the correct number of chromosomes maintained during sexual reproduction?
During sexual reproduction, the correct number of chromosomes is maintained through a process called meiosis, which reduces the chromosome number in half. This ensures that when two gametes (sperm and egg) combine during fertilization, the resulting zygote has the correct number of chromosomes for that species.
What happens when a fetus has 3 cromizones instead of 2?
a "normal" human being should have a total of 46 chromosomes. 23 from mom, 23 from dad. if something goes wrong during meiosis, the chromosomes may not be separated normally and a gamete (sex cell, known as sperm or egg) will have either too few or too many chromosomes. this is known as aneuploidy. the effects of aneuploidy on the zygote will vary depending on what chromosomes you are talking about. in the case of chromosome #21, having one extra is called "trisomy 21" which leads to the condition known as down syndrome. chromosome pairs 1-22 are a person's autosomes. the 23rd pair are sex chromosomes. aneuploidy affecting the sex chromosomes can have various effects, depending on what chromosomes are inherited. as you can see, the effects of aneuploidy depend on the specific chromosome number/pair. aneuploidy usually is not fatal.

What is the species number of chromosomes in humans?
46 Chromosomes
Do all species have the same number of chromosomes?
No, chromosomes vary from species to species. A species is distinguished by individuals that can mate and have young that are capable of producing offspring. The number of chromosomes two individuals have must be the same for this to be possible.
The number of chromosomes in a nucleus depends upon the kind of organism it comes from?
Yes, that's correct. The number of chromosomes in a nucleus is specific to each species and can vary significantly. For example, humans have 46 chromosomes in each nucleus, while dogs have 78, and fruit flies have 8.
What is the number of chromosomes in the nucleus?
It varies from species to species. The human nucleus contains 46 chromosomes.
