If you have one additional pair of CHROMOSOME 23, you have DOWN SYNDROME.

If a person has fewer than 46 chromosomes, they will die. With more than 46 chromosomes, it depends on the chromosome type , but mostly disorders or syndromes will occur. Death is also a possibility in this case.

Answer

The condition wherein the number of chromosomes in a individual is more or less than the expected number of chromosomes is called aneuploidy.

Examples include Down's Sydrome (three sets of chromosome 21), Klinefelter's syndrome (one extra X chromosome in males), Turner's syndrome (one X chromosome less in females), Edward syndrome (extra chromosome 18).

Having more or less chromosomes than the normal number can lead to genetic disorders or developmental abnormalities. For example, Down syndrome occurs when there is an extra copy of chromosome 21, while Turner syndrome occurs when there is a missing X chromosome in females. These imbalances can result in physical and/or developmental challenges.
