Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Down syndrome is probably the most well-known example of a chromosomal aneuploidy. Besides trisomy 21, the major chromosomal aneuploidies seen in live-born babies are: trisomy 18; trisomy 13; 45, X (Turner syndrome); 47, XXY (Klinefelter syndrome); 47, XYY; and 47, XXX.

Detailed explanation-2: -A chromosome mutation that causes individuals to have an abnormal number of chromosomes is termed aneuploidy. Aneuploid cells occur as a result of chromosome breakage or nondisjunction errors that happen during meiosis or mitosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Down syndrome (Trisomy 21). FragileX syndrome. Klinefelter syndrome. Triple-X syndrome. Turner syndrome. Trisomy 18. Trisomy 13. 20-Aug-2021
