"Chromosomal abnormalities
describe changes in the normal
number of chromosomes or
structural problems within the
chromosomes themselves. These
abnormalities occur when an egg or
sperm with an incorrect number of
chromosomes, or a structurally
faulty chromosome, unites with a
normal egg or sperm during
conception. Some chromosome
abnormalities occur shortly after
conception. In this case, the zygote,
the cell formed during conception
that eventually develops into an
embryo, divides incorrectly."
Chromosomal abnormalities are
changes in the number of
chromosomes within the
chromosome themselves.
Abnormalities happen when an egg
or sperm with the wrong number of
chromosomes merge with a normal
egg or sperm. Sometimes
chromosomal abnormalities happen
right after conception, when the
cells divide incorrectly (Fundukian
2010).

Chromosomal abnormalities are
problems that exist within either the
structure or number of
chromosomes. Egg or sperm cells
that have structural problems or
that have united and then divide
incorrectly are often the cause of
the abnormalities (Fundukian
2010).
