I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
A monosomy of chromosome 20 occurs when a person is missing one copy of chromosome 20 in their cells, resulting in a total of 45 chromosomes instead of the usual 46. This condition is typically caused by errors during the formation of reproductive cells (eggs or sperm), or during early embryonic development.
To get more detailed and accurate information about the causes of a monosomy of chromosome 20, it is recommended to consult reliable medical sources such as scientific research articles, medical textbooks, or reach out to a healthcare professional. They can provide you with in-depth explanations and the most up-to-date knowledge on the topic.
