An extra chromosome will produce an aneuploidy. It may have severe consequences on the resulting zygote.
<h3>Aneuploidies and chromosome abnormalities</h3>
The term 'chromosome abnormalities' refers to different types of problems that occur in meiosis which are associated with the disjunction of chromosomes.
The most common chromosomal abnormality is called aneuploidy, which means an abnormal number of chromosomes.
Aneuploidy is caused by the presence of an extra or due to the lack (missing) of a chromosome during meiosis.
For example, a trisomy is an aneuploidy due to the presence of an extra chromosome (three copies of the same chromosome instead of two).

Genotype is 1:2:1 (1 Homozygous tall, 2 heterozygous tall, 1 homozygous short)
Phenotype ratio is 3:1
The heterozygous Tt and recessive tt could produce short pea plants if they were crossed.
Explanation:
Genotype is the alleles present for a particular gene. In the Punnett square we can see there will be three tall pea plants and one short pea plant but they can be either homozygous or heterozygous.
While phenotype is the exhibited trait by particular allele that is 3 tall pea plants and one small pea plant.
If Tt and tt are crossed 50 per cent chances of short pea plant is there.
Growth is defined as the irreversible increase in the dry mass of an organism. It is brought about by an increase in cell size or number. In plants, growth occurs throughout the lifetime of the plant. ... Plants have extensive powers of regeneration. They can replace lost or damaged tissue.
