The normal diploid number of a particular species is 2n=100. Fill in the number of chromosomes for each of the

Question

1) number of chromosomes in an (abnormal) individual with a trisomy condition
2) number of chromosomes in an (abnormal) individual with polyploidy
The answer is:
1) 101 2) 200 but i dont know how..? can anyone explain me how to get this #?

Answer 1

Polyploidy occurs when each chromosome is doubled..in ur case...100*2..which is 200 savvy?

Answer 2

trisomy is like trisomy 21 that is the general mental ritardation that is often recognizable.

that would mean that you have 51 chromosomes. 100/2 then you add the extra chromo 21.

then poly ploidy is 200 I believe. I think you are correct. so good job.
