A mutation that involves changes in the number or structure of chromosomes is called a chromosomal mutation. This type of mutation can result in deletions, duplications, inversions, or translocations of chromosome segments. Chromosomal mutations can lead to genetic disorders or contribute to the evolution of species by altering genetic material. They can occur during cell division, particularly during meiosis or mitosis.
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.
Point Mutation is the mutation that involves a single or few nucleotide. This type of mutation replaces a single nucleotide to another.
A carrier for hemophilia refers to a female that has the genetic mutation for the disorder on one of her two X chromosomes. This means that she can pass the mutation on (with a 50% chance) to her children.

when there is a two way exchange of genetic portion between two non-homologus chromosomes, its called reciprocal mutation, its a type of translocation mutation

This is because mutations occur in x chromosomes. The male, who has "xy" sex chromosomes, will have the mutation if it is present in the x chromosome. Females, there is a smaller chance because there are two "xx" chromosomes, which reduces the chance that the mutation will be present.
mutation means change in genetic structure..where as crossover means interchanging the genetic structure of two or more chromosomes..
Polyploidy mutation is a type of mutation that results in an organism having more than two complete sets of chromosomes. This can lead to increased genetic diversity and potentially new traits in the organism.
