The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the (2n-1) condition of chromosomes, we can analyze the options provided and determine which one corresponds to this specific chromosomal condition. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Chromosomal Conditions**: - Chromosomes are typically present in pairs, denoted as 'n' for the number of pairs. Therefore, the total number of chromosomes is represented as '2n'. - The question asks about a condition where there is one less chromosome than the normal diploid number, which is represented as (2n-1). 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Tetrasomy**: This condition involves having two extra chromosomes, leading to a total of (2n + 2). Thus, this option is incorrect. - **Trisomy**: This condition involves having one extra chromosome, leading to a total of (2n + 1). Therefore, this option is also incorrect. - **Monosomy**: This condition involves the loss of one chromosome from a pair, resulting in a total of (2n - 1). This matches the condition specified in the question. - **Nullisomy**: This condition involves the loss of both chromosomes of a pair, resulting in a total of 0 chromosomes (2n - 2). Thus, this option is incorrect. 3. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer to the question is **Monosomy**, as it corresponds to the (2n-1) condition of chromosomes. ### Final Answer: The (2n-1) condition of chromosomes is called **Monosomy**.
