What does trisomic mean?
Having three times the normal number of chromosomes in a cell or organism, resulting from an error in meiosis. This can occur naturally in some species, but in humans, it is usually the result of a non-disjunction event during meiosis.
Example
"The trisomic condition in some plants has been found to increase their resistance to certain diseases."
