Having more or less chromosomes than the typical number for a species can lead to genetic disorders or abnormalities. For example, having an extra copy of a chromosome, known as trisomy, can result in conditions such as Down syndrome. Conversely, missing a chromosome can lead to conditions like Turner syndrome. These chromosomal abnormalities can affect physical and cognitive development in individuals.
