Study Notes

Introduction to Chromosomal Abnormalities

Your cells contain genetic material organized into structures called chromosomes. Humans typically have 46 chromosomes, arranged in 23 pairs: 22 pairs of autosomes (non-sex chromosomes) and 1 pair of sex chromosomes (XX for females, XY for males). These chromosomes carry all the genes that dictate your development and function.

Chromosomal abnormalities occur when there's a deviation from this normal number or structure. These deviations can have significant impacts on an individual's health and development, ranging from mild effects to severe, life-limiting conditions.
