Aneuploidy is a genetic condition characterized by an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell, which can lead to developmental and functional abnormalities. This condition arises due to errors in cell division, such as nondisjunction, where chromosomes fail to separate properly during meiosis or mitosis. The presence of an extra or missing chromosome can disrupt normal cellular function, affecting processes like DNA damage repair and potentially contributing to cancer and other diseases.
