Extra chromosome, missing chromosome or damaged chromosomes

Answer:

The correct answer is: extra chromosomes, missing chromosomes, and/or damaged chromosomes.

Explanation:

Chromosome abnormalities are a group of genetic disorders characterized by abnormalities in their chromosomes, whether structural or numerical. This type of condition can be detected by a karyotype.

A karyotype is a laboratory technique used to observe all the chromosomes of an individual to see if there are any problems in it. A karyotype is a picture of all your chromosomes.

A normal karyotype shows 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 in total).

When there's an extra chromosome, it receives the name of trisomy (+ the number of the chromosomal "pair" where there's the extra chromosome). For example: Trisomy 21 - Down Syndrome.

When there's a chromosome missing, that is called monosomy (+ the number of the pair where there's a chromosome missing).

Damaged chromosomes can lead to loss of genetic material or translocation of said information.
