Insertion is a type of mutation which adds nucleotide to an already existing gene sequence. It can lead to genetic disorders due to the change of gene sequence. An example of this genetic disorder is the trisomy 21 or commonly known as Down syndrome. Instead of having 46 cells, those people having this disorder have 47 cells because there is an extra copy of there gene 21.

Finger [1]

Answer:

I think this might be the answer

Explanation: The answer is the same for every diploid species. It is half the number of chromosomes in somatic (body) cells. The number of cells in gametes (sex cells) is n and the number in somatic cells is 2n. For fruit flies gametes have 4 chromosomes, for mice, 20, for humans 23, for chimpanzees 24.
