Answer:

The correct answer is B the extra chromosome has typically undergone significant rearrangements.

Explanation:

Trisomy is a type of aneuploidy which is characterized by the presence or occurance of an extra copy of a particular chromosome.As a result the chromosomes in which the trisomy is occurring contain 3 arms instead of 2. Trisomy occur due to non disjunction  of a particular chromosome during meiosis.

 As a result a second copy of chromosome is present inside the cell containing that abnormal chromosome.If the same thing occur in the cell of gamet undergoing fertilization then there is a high chance that the embryo will carry that extra chromosome.

 In case of humans  Trisomy result in the rearrangement extra chromosome which ultimately give rise to

1 Trisomy 18 occur due to extra copy of chromosome no 18

2 Trisomy 13 occur due to extra copy of chromosome no  13

3  Trsomy 21 occur due to extra copy of chromosome no  21  which is also called down syndrome.
