Explain the difference between Euploidy and Aneuploidy.
(N/A) Euploidy: It refers to the condition where the total number of chromosomes in a cell is an exact multiple of the haploid set $(n)$. For example,$2n$ (diploid),$3n$ (triploid),or $4n$ (tetraploid).
Aneuploidy: It refers to the condition where there is a gain or loss of one or more individual chromosomes,rather than an entire set. This results in an abnormal number of chromosomes,such as $2n+1$ (trisomy) or $2n-1$ (monosomy).
