Answer:

Nondisjunction.

Explanation:

Down Syndrome is a condition caused by trisomy 21, in which the person has 47 chromosomes instead of 46. The error in cell division called nondisjunction    (causes trisomy 21).

Nondisjunction Is the failure of paired chromosomes to divide during cell division, so in this division both chromosome go to one daughter cell. This cause errors in chromosomes number such as Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21) and turner syndrome (Monosomy X).

Living things come from other living things through either sexual or asexual reproduction.
Iteru [2.4K]

Explanation:

Organisms don’t have to only reproduce sexually or only reproduce asexually - some animals do both!

When conditions are good, such organisms will reproduce asexually because it is easier. For example, starfish (by fragmentation), slime molds, and water fleas/daphnia (by parthenogenesis) all reproduce asexually when there is plenty of food, minimal predators, and not too much crowding of individuals of the same species.

When conditions worsen (less food, too many individuals, etc), they may switch to sexual reproduction in order to add genetic variation to their population and ensure survival through difficult times.
