<h2>Down Syndrome</h2>
Explanation:
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused when abnormal cell division results in an extra full or partial copy of chromosome 21
- Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused when abnormal cell division results in an extra full or partial copy of chromosome 21
- Down syndrome is usually caused by an error in cell division called nondisjunction which results in an embryo with three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the usual two
- Prior to or at conception, a pair of 21st chromosomes in either the sperm or the egg fails to separates
- With development in embryo the extra chromosome is replicated in every cell of the body;this type of Down syndrome which accounts for 95% of cases is called trisomy 21
- Maternal age is the only factor that has been linked to an increased chance of having a baby with Down syndrome resulting from nondisjunction;here environmental agents such as drugs, chemicals, and radiation act as mutagens which induce mutation in the fetus

The effect differs. It could produce a different amino acid in the sequence because the corresponding codon has changed. It could also prevent the production of the originally intended sequence by changing one of the amino acids of a "start" codon (aka AUG) or extend the protein's sequence by modifying a "stop" codon (UAA, UAG, UGA or UGG), producing a new protein that might be useless or have different effects on the cell.
