or sister chromatids to separate properly during cell division.
Spermatozoon And Ovum
The exchange of genes
between homologous chromosomes, resulting in a mixture of parental characteristics in offspring.
Fertilization
Random Assortment
The number of chromosomes is
halved from the parent cell
Haploid 2n
The action or process of fertilizing an egg,
female animal, or plant, involving the fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote.
Genes on different pairs of homologous chromosomes
by the passage according to the laws of probability of one of each diploid pair of homologous chromosomes into each gamete independently of each other pair.
Liver Cell Mutation
The number of chromosomes
remain the same as parent cell Diploid n
Permanent alteration of the nucleotide sequence
of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA or other genetic elements.
What is down syndrome? You may
ask yourself and over curiosity questions. Down syndrome is a chromosomal disorder caused by an error in cell division that results in an extra 21st chromosome. The condition leads to impairments in both cognitive ability and physical growth that range from mild to moderate developmental disabilities.Screening tests, such as an ultrasound or a blood test during your first or second trimester. These can help show if the developing baby (fetus) is at risk for Down syndrome. But these tests sometimes give false-positive or false-negative results. Diagnostic tests, such as chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis.A few of the common physical traits of Down syndrome are: low muscle tone, small stature, an upward slant to the eyes, and a single deep crease across the center of the palm. Every person with Down syndrome is a unique individual and may possess these characteristics to different degrees or not at all.People who inherit an unbalanced translocation involving chromosome 21 may have extra genetic material from chromosome 21, which causes Down syndrome. Like trisomy 21, mosaic Down syndrome is not inherited. It occurs as a random event during cell division early in fetal development
