This document discusses the pathophysiology of genetic disorders resulting from faulty fertilization. Predisposing factors include age and genetics, while nutritional deficiencies in protein and carotene can precipitate issues. Faulty fertilization can occur when an empty egg is fertilized by a single sperm with full chromosomes, or a sperm that did not undergo meiosis fertilizes a normal egg, resulting in an abnormal number of chromosomes and a nonviable fetus.

Empty Ovum or Empty Egg without fertilizes One egg 23X or One sperm who did any genetic material not undergo meiosis (process of cell division: in Fertilized by One sperm 23X or 23Y organisms that reproduce sexually, a process of cell chromosomes division during which the nucleus divides into four nuclei, each of which contains half the usual number of chromosomes.) Fertilizes one egg 23X.
duplication of all chromosomes 69XXX or 69 XXY
(endoreduplication) (triploid chromosomes) 46 XX or 46 XY (diploid chromosomes)
