Solution

Chromosomal Abnormalities:

  1. Chromosome anomalies can be structural or numerical. An individual with a numerical aberration either lacks one of a pair's chromosomes or has more than two chromosomes instead of a pair. A structural anomaly is a change in the chromosome's structure in one of a number of ways.
  2. Chromosome abnormalities are not curable.
  3. Through genetic testing and counseling, we can lower the risk of developing chromosomal abnormalities.
  4. The effects can be controlled with medication and physical therapy.

Hence, Chromosomal abnormalities frequently have no known cure or treatment. However, a doctor might advise genetic counseling, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and medication.
