Answer:

monosomy or loss of a single chromosome

Explanation:

  • The presence of a given number of chromosomes in a cell that differs from the normal number of chromosomes defined for an organism is termed as aneuploidy.
  • There can be either an extra chromosome present or a chromosome that can be missing thus leading to either an increase or decrease in the number of total chromosomes in the organism.
  • If there is a loss of a single chromosome in the cell then this type of aneuploidy is termed as monosomy.
  • In a normal individual if two copies of one chromosome are present then monosomy would result only in the presence of a single chromosome.
  • This type of condition can lead to different genetic defect and disorders , one such example is turner syndrome.
  • Therefore, in the spontaneously aborted embryo, the presence of only one chromosome number two is a type of monosomy.
