An example could be mitochondria, because 1. Its not a chromosome and 2. It doesn't carry chromosomes.
An example of an autosome is chromosome 1 in humans. Autosomes are non-sex chromosomes that are the same in both males and females. They contain genes responsible for various traits and functions in the body.
One of the non-X or non-Y chromosomes
A trisomy is when a person has 3 versions of a chromosome. 'Normal' humans will only have 2 of each chromosome. For example, having 3 versions of chromosome 21 is known as Trisomy 21 or Down Syndrome.
A non-example of an allele would be a chromosome. While alleles are specific versions of a gene that determine particular traits, chromosomes are long strands of DNA that contain many genes, including multiple alleles. For instance, the gene for flower color in a plant can have different alleles (like purple or white), but the entire chromosome that carries these genes is not an allele itself.
Sickle cell anemia is not sex linked.

Chromosome Disorder
One of the non-X or non-Y chromosomes
A translocation event, which involves an exchange of chromosome segments between non-homologous chromosomes (in this case, chromosome 7 and chromosome 15). Translocations can lead to genetic disorders or be inherited as a chromosomal abnormality.

For instance, the gene for flower color in a plant can have different alleles (like purple or white), but the entire chromosome that carries these genes is not an allele itself.
Errors in meiosis, such as non-disjunction, can lead to abnormalities by causing an unequal distribution of chromosomes in the daughter cells. This can result in conditions like Down syndrome, where there is an extra copy of chromosome 21. Another example is Turner syndrome, which arises from the absence of one X chromosome in females due to non-disjunction.
Down's Syndrome is an example of a birth defect characterized by an abnormality of the chromosome structure.
Sickle cell anemia is not sex linked.
Chromosome # + pso the short arm of Chromosome 11 is referred to as 11p
When a segment of a chromosome breaks away and joins a non-homologous chromosome, it is called a translocation. This can lead to gene disruptions and potentially cause genetic disorders.
