Q858

A neuploidy occurs due to

A.
Change in whole set of chromosome
B.
Change in a subset of chromosome
Answer
C.
Both A and B
D.
None of the above

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Aneuploidy occurs due to a change in a subset of the chromosome.
A change in chromosome number that is not the exact multiple of the haploid karyotype is known as aneuploidy.
It does not include a difference of one or more complete sets of chromosomes. A cell with any number of complete chromosome sets is called a euploid cell. This condition interferes with the growth and development of an organism.
