Chromosome may be defined as the condense form of DNA that can be inherited from one generation to next generation. Humans have 23 pairs or 46 number of chromosomes. 22 pairs of chromosomes are known as autosomes and the remaining pair of chromosome is known as sex chromosome. Females have XX chromosome whereas males have XY chromosome.
The numerical abnormality means the change in number of chromosomes. This might occur due to the deletion or duplication of a particular chromosomes. Several syndromes like Klinefelter’s syndrome, down syndrome and turner syndrome occur due to deletion or increase in the chromosome number.
