The chromosome abnormality type that results in a daughter cell with an extra chromosome-or trisomy-or a daughter cell with a loss of chromosome is characterized as which of the following?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The type of chromosome abnormality described in the question is numerical aberration, where there is either an extra chromosome (trisomy) or a loss of chromosome (monosomy) in the daughter cell. Constitutional aberrations refer to genetic mutations that are present in all cells of an individual's body, while mosaic aberrations refer to mutations that occur in only some cells. Structural aberrations involve changes in the structure of chromosomes, such as deletions, inversions, or translocations. Acquired aberrations are mutations that occur after fertilization, such as mutations that lead to cancer.
