Chromosomal stability

Chromosomal stability refers to the consistent and accurate preservation of our chromosomes’ structure and number during cell division. Our chromosomes carry genetic information essential for normal body function. When stability is maintained, cells divide correctly, ensuring each new cell has the right genetic material. Instability, however, can lead to changes like missing, extra, or rearranged chromosomes, which may cause health issues such as cancer or genetic disorders. Overall, chromosomal stability is key to healthy growth, development, and preventing genetic abnormalities.
