The cause of downs syndrome is a process called disjunction.In this process the two copies of chromosomes 21 fail to separate during the formation of egg, resulting in the formation of egg having two copies of chromosome 21.. when this egg gets fertilzed, the resulting baby ends up havng three copies of chromosome 21 in each cell... however the cause for this disjunction is not known...
