<span>Trisomy is a condition in which a person's cells have three chromosomes in a single set. Normally, a person's chromosomes come in pairs and humans have 23 pairs of these chromosomes (46 in total).

When a person has a trisomy disorder, an additional chromosome is found in one of the pairs of chromosomes. When this happens the individual has a total of 47 chromosomes in his cells. Down syndrome, Edward syndrome, and Patau syndrome are the most common gene abnormalities caused by trisomy disorder.</span>

3. Why is it sometimes necessary to use a model that is "not to scale"?
joja [24]
My answer: Because the actual thing you might be modelling might be too small or large to replicate, (for example you cannot draw a plant cell TO SCALE because it’s way too small to see with a bare eye).
And if the item is too big, you won’t be able to fit it in a small space; if you were to draw it or create it in 3D.

I hope this helps!
Sorry if the response is too short, try rewording if you need to :)
