Final answer:

A cell with 2n + 1 chromosomes is trisomic.

Step-by-step explanation:

An individual with an error in chromosome number is described as aneuploid, a term that includes monosomy (loss of one chromosome) or trisomy (gain of an extraneous chromosome). In this case, a cell with 2n + 1 chromosomes is trisomic.
