Detailed Solution

Failure of segregation of chromatids during cell division cycle results in the gain or loss of a chromosome(s), called aneuploidy. For example, Down’s syndrome results in the gain of extra copy of chromosome 21.

Failure of cytokinesis after telophase stage of cell division results in an increase in a whole set of chromosomes in an organism and,
this phenomenon is known as polyploidy. This condition is often seen in plants.
