Class

A complete chromosome that has been abnormally duplicated in a genome, typically as the result of a meiotic non-disjunction event or unbalanced translocation

This 'gained' chromosome is conceptually an 'insertion' in a genome that received two copies of a chromosome in a cell division following a non-disjunction event. As such, it qualifies as a type of sequence_alteration, and as a 'extra' chromosome.
