What can an extra chromosome do?

Having an extra chromosome, known as trisomy, can lead to genetic disorders such as Down syndrome (trisomy 21) or Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18). These disorders can affect physical and intellectual development, leading to characteristic features and health challenges. The specific impact of an extra chromosome varies depending on which chromosome is affected.


Compare and contrast Turners syndrome and Klinefelters syndrome?

With Turner's Syndrome, the females actually have 1 less chromosome, not an extra one or sometimes only part of the X chromosome is missing. Klinefelter's syndrome, 47, XXY, or XXY syndrome is a condition in which human males have an extra X chromosome. While females have an XX chromosomal makeup, and males an XY, affected individuals have at least two X chromosomes and at least one Y chromosome.
