Solution
Chromosomal disorders:
Chromosomal disorders refer to changes in chromosome structure and number.
They can occur due to aneuploidy (loss or gain of a chromosome), deletion, duplication, inversion, and translocation.
Chromosomal disorders are not always inherited. Example: Down syndrome, Turner syndrome.
Few chromosomal disorders are genetic. They can be passed from parents to offspring. Example: color blindness.
