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.

Forensic scientists can match missing persons and their families by matching maternal DNA to the missing individual. Which type
andrey2020 [161]
<span>mtDNA analysis is the best DNA technology to use. In DNA fingerprinting scientists run a gel electrophoresis of the subject's DNA in order to establish the banding patterns of the DNA fragments. People will always share half of their DNA with a parent. SO half of an individual's banding pattern will match half of their parent's DNA banding pattern. If someone is missing is found then scientists can compare the DNA fingerprint or banding patterns to see what the likelihood is of them being related.</span>
