Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A cell that has 2n + 1 chromosomes is trisomic, meaning it has an extra chromosome. This is different from monosomic, which means the cell is missing a chromosome, euploid which refers to cells with a normal number of chromosomes, and polyploid which refers to cells with multiple sets of chromosomes.  Triploid refers to cells with three sets of chromosomes, which is not the case here.
