When there is a change in the chromosome number such that the changes number is not an exact multiple of base number [haploid number], the condition is called as:
1. | Euploidy | 2. | Aneuploidy |
3. | Aberration | 4. | Non-disjunction |
Failure of cytokinesis after telophase stage of cell division results in an increase in a whole set of chromosomes in an organism and this phenomenon is known as:
1. | Aneuploidy | 2. | Translocation |
3. | Polyploidy | 4. | Inversion |
Monosomy means:
1. | Lack of one pair of chromosomes |
2. | Lack of one of any one pair of chromosome |
3. | Presence of an extra chromosome |
4. | Presence of an extra set of chromosomes |
Which of the following is not a feature of Down’s Syndrome?

2. | The affected individual has a trisomy of chromosome 21. |
3. | The affected individual has a characteristic simian palmar crease. |
4. | The mental development of the affected individual is normal. |
Statement I: | Part A shows the common clinical features of Down’s syndrome. |
Statement II: | Part B shows the characteristic karyotype of Down’s Syndrome. |
Chromosomal disorder | Karyotype | |
A | |
