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.

Describe the appearance of the water and the hydrogen peroxide. How are they similar and how are they different?
Ber [7]

The bonds that hold H2O2 together break apart and the atoms are rearranged to form water (H2O) and oxygen (O2) molecules. This happens slowly in store-‐bought hydrogen peroxide, so even in dark bottles, it will 'expire' in a year, or less if it's opened. ... And higher concentrations of H2O2 produce more oxygen.
