Chromosome complement with $2 n-1$ is called
- Correct answerAmonosomy
- Bnullisomy
- Ctrisomy
- Dtetrasomy
Solution
When a change in the chromosome number does not involve entire sets of chromosome and restrict to only a few of chromosome, the situation is called aneuploidy. Aneuploidy may be of following types
(a) Monosomic $(2 n-1)$
(b) Trisomic $(2 n+1)$
(c) Nullisomic $(2 n-2)$
(d) Tetrasomic $(2 n+2)$
(e) Double momosomic $(2 n-1-1)$
(f) Double trisomic $(2 n+1+1)$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
