What do you call it if a person is missing a chromosome?
If a person is missing a chromosome, it is known as monosomy. Monosomy occurs when there is only one copy of a particular chromosome instead of the usual two copies. For example, a person missing one copy of chromosome 21 would have a condition called monosomy 21 or trisomy 21, which is also known as Down syndrome.

Why is monosomy worse than trisomy?
Monosomy occurs when one chromosome is absent from the normal diploid number. This is referred to as aneuploidy which is the loss or gain of a chromosome during meiosis.An example of monosomy is Turner Syndrome. One of the sex chromosomes is missing. In an unaffected female there are 2 'X' chromosomes. But in Turner Syndrome there is one sex chromosome missing.Trisomy occurs when there is three copies of a chromosome instead of the normal diploid number. This is also referred to as aneuploidy because there was an extra chromosome added hence, an abnormal amount of chromosomes.An example of trisomy is in Trisomy 21(Downs Syndrome) in which chromosome 21 has an extra chromosome.
