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.

These are called fatal genetic mutations. Same examples are: Tay-Sachs disease, Neimann-Pick disease, Trisomy 18 and Trisomy 13 are "Edwards Syndrome" and "Patau Syndrome," respectively and Cystic fibrosis
Trisomy occurs when there is an extra chromosome present in the cells, typically due to an error in cell division during the formation of sperm or egg cells. This mutation can happen during meiosis, the process of cell division that produces gametes, leading to a fertilized egg with three copies of a chromosome instead of the usual two. In the case of Down syndrome (trisomy 21), for example, this error occurs during the formation of the egg or sperm, and the exact timing can vary, but it generally happens before conception.
Trisomy 13, also known as Patau syndrome, is a chromosomal mutation where there is an extra copy of chromosome 13 in each cell. This condition can lead to various physical and intellectual disabilities.

A trisomy is a condition in which a person has three copies of a chromosome instead of the usual two copies. A person can have full trisomy (three copies in every cell) or mosaic trisomy (three copies in some cells but not all).
These are called fatal genetic mutations. Same examples are: Tay-Sachs disease, Neimann-Pick disease, Trisomy 18 and Trisomy 13 are "Edwards Syndrome" and "Patau Syndrome," respectively and Cystic fibrosis
Trisomy 18 is caused by a type of mutation called nondisjunction, where an error in cell division results in an extra copy of chromosome 18. This leads to the presence of three copies of chromosome 18 in each cell instead of the normal two copies.

Trisomy-21, also known as Down syndrome, results from an extra copy of chromosome 21. Instead of the usual two copies, individuals with Down syndrome have three copies of chromosome 21. This extra genetic material can lead to various physical and cognitive differences.
