People with Down syndrome have an extra copy of chromosome 21 in every cell. Down syndrome most often occurs when chromosomes fail to separate properly during meiosis, when sex cells form. Hope this helps!!
When during meiosis do sister chroamtids separate?
Sister chromatids separate during anaphase II of meiosis.

In Down syndrome, a person's cells have an extra copy of chromosome 21. In other words, instead of a pair of chromosomes, a person with Down syndrome has three of that chromosome. Down syndrome most often occurs when chromosomes fail to separate properly during meiosis. People with Down syndrome have a degree of mental retardation. Heart defects are also common, but can be treated.
