The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the conditions of a karyotype represented as `2n±1` and `2n±2`, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Karyotypes**: - A karyotype is a complete set of chromosomes in an organism. The notation `2n` refers to the diploid number of chromosomes, where `n` is the number of distinct chromosomes. 2. **Analyzing the Given Notation**: - The notation `2n±1` indicates a condition where there is either one extra chromosome (2n+1) or one missing chromosome (2n-1). - Similarly, `2n±2` indicates either two extra chromosomes (2n+2) or two missing chromosomes (2n-2). 3. **Identifying the Type of Chromosomal Abnormality**: - The conditions `2n±1` and `2n±2` signify an abnormal number of chromosomes, which is a characteristic of **aneuploidy**. - Aneuploidy occurs when there is a deviation from the normal diploid number of chromosomes due to nondisjunction during cell division. 4. **Types of Aneuploidy**: - **Monosomy** (2n-1): Loss of one chromosome. - **Nullisomy** (2n-2): Loss of a homologous pair of chromosomes. - **Trisomy** (2n+1): Gain of one extra chromosome. - **Tetrasomy** (2n+2): Gain of an additional homologous pair of chromosomes. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the conditions `2n±1` and `2n±2` are classified as **aneuploidy**. ### Final Answer: The conditions of a karyotype represented by `2n±1` and `2n±2` are called **aneuploidy**.
