Working
Aneuploidy is a change in chromosome number involving the gain or loss of one or a few individual chromosomes, relative to the normal diploid (2n) complement, and each specific pattern has its own name:
- Trisomy (2n+1): one single chromosome of one type is present in three copies instead of two (one extra chromosome added to the diploid set). This matches statement (2): 'one chromosome extra to the diploid.'
- Tetrasomy (2n+2): one entire homologous pair is duplicated, so one chromosome type is present in four copies instead of two (an extra PAIR of chromosomes added). This matches statement (1): 'a pair of chromosomes extra with diploid.'
- Monosomy (2n-1): one chromosome of one type is missing, leaving only a single copy instead of the normal pair. This matches statement (3): 'one chromosome loses from diploid.' …
