A post about Elsie is an answer to the question?
I provided the link to a PAGE. On that page was the answer I provided to you. In case you were too stupid to figure it out, I also included the actual answer I provided to you back in 2008.
For the thinking impaired I NOW provide a link, not just to the relevant page, but your question and my answer. In case you are again not smart enough to figure out how to follow that, I will also cut and paste my answer TO YOU again.
Yet somehow I suspect that you will NOT learn anything from it, and in a few months again you will be saying ‘I don't see how, nobody has explained to me, why wouldn’t a change in chromosome number be detrimental?’.

Chromosomal fusion would not lead to aneuploidy problems.
Aneuploidy like Downs syndrome, Klinefelters, etc are either a loss of an entire chromosome or the gain of an extra copy of a chromosome.
Chromosomal fusion is just a rearrangement of the same genes in 23 packages (x2) rather than 24 packages (x2).
No muss no fuss.
There are even the relics of an unused centromere on Chromosome two and telomeres where the fused chromosomes used to end.
Just a bit of research would answer your questions.

I’m baffled (but that ain’t too hard to do...)
