Understand the definitions of the terms provided: Aberrant Euploidy, Aneuploidy, Monoploidy, and Tetraploidy.
Aberrant Euploidy refers to changes in the number of complete sets of chromosomes, which can result in organisms having more or fewer sets than normal.
Aneuploidy is a condition where the number of chromosomes is not an exact multiple of the haploid number, leading to an increase or decrease in the number of specific chromosomes, rather than entire sets.
Monoploidy refers to having only one set of chromosomes, which is less than the normal diploid number.
Tetraploidy involves having four complete sets of chromosomes, which is an increase in the number of complete sets rather than specific chromosomes.
