Answer:

The chance of a normal couple having a child with down syndrome is 1 to 600 births.

Explanation:

Down syndrome is a genetic flaw that occurs when the fetus is being formed.

A human cell considered normal has 46 chromosomes, divided into 23 pairs. For some unknown reason, an error may occur at the beginning of embryonic development and an extra chromosome is created, which binds to par 21. The result is cells with 47 chromosomes. This causes the said syndrome.

It is important to know that this failure happens at random. It is nobody's responsibility. It has not been proven to date that lifestyle, actions during pregnancy, smoking, drinking, medicines, environmental factors or kinship between the couple can influence this occurrence. She is not contagious either. The likelihood of a normal couple having a child with the syndrome is approximately 1 to 600 births.

Answer:

In p53 pathways, 3 proteins which are mutate and cause cancer that proteins are:

1.BRCA2  

2. p53 in Rb genes binds with deoxyribonucleic acid that stimulates another gene to produce a protein known as p21 that interacts with cdk2. When p21 is combined with cdk2  cell will not pass through to the next stage of cell division. This is Li-Fraumeni syndrome (when p53 causes cancer from parents to offspring)  

3.BRCA1  

The parent that transmits mutation in one of these genes has a 50% chance of inheriting the mutation. The effects of mutations in BRCA2 and BRCA1 are seen when the person's second copy of the gene is normal.
