trisomy
A trisomy is a type of polysomy in which there are three instances of a particular chromosome, instead of the normal two.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CRC - Glossary T )〕 A trisomy is a type of aneuploidy (an abnormal number of chromosomes).
==Description and causes==
Most organisms that reproduce sexually have pairs of chromosomes in each cell, with one chromosome inherited from each parent. In such organisms, a process called meiosis creates cells called gametes (eggs or sperm) that have only one set of chromosomes. The number of chromosomes is different for different species. Humans have 46 chromosomes (i.e. 23 pairs of chromosomes). Human gametes have only 23 chromosomes.
If the chromosome pairs fail to separate properly during cell division, the egg or sperm may end up with a second copy of one of the chromosomes. (''See'' non-disjunction.) If such a gamete results in fertilization and an embryo, the resulting embryo may also have an entire copy of the extra chromosome.
