Solution

The correct option is A Aneuploidy

Failure of segregation of chromatids during cell division results in either gain or loss of chromosome or non-disjunction. This results in a condition called aneuploidy. There are 4 types of Aneuploidy

  • Monosomy : 2n – 1
  • Nullisomy : 2n – 2
  • Trisomy : 2n + 1
  • Tetrasomy : 2n + 2

Polyploid organisms have duplication of whole set of chromosomes: 3n, 4n ……

Allopolyploid individual has a chromosome set composed of two or more chromosome complements derived from different species.
