The term is "aneuploidy", thats how we call the abnormal number of chromosomes. The name changes by the number of missing chromosomes:
1 = monosomy3 = trisomy4 = tetrasomy

Answer: Aneuploidy

Step-by-step explanation:

Aneuploidy is the presence of abnormal normal of chromosomes in a cell. Example: The chromosomes number 45 or 47 chromosomes which is not common in case of human beings.

The normal number of chromosomes in human beings is 46. This results in different syndromes which can cause deformities in the body of the individual.

It leads to miscarriage in most of the cases the survival is very less.
