    Chromosomal mutations can involve changes in chromosome structure like duplications, deletions, inversions, and translocations. These structural changes can impact the location of genes and alleles on chromosomes. Chromosomal mutations can also involve changes in chromosome number, such as aneuploidy caused by non-disjunction during meiosis resulting in conditions like Down syndrome from trisomy. Polyploidy is a condition where there are multiples of entire chromosome sets.
