They don't gain cells. If you are referring to Down syndrome it is because there is a mutation in the chromosomes of the DNA. Specifically, the chromosome # 21. The DNA is within the cell.

Are zygotes capable of developing into a multicellular structure without fusion with another cell?

Yes they are, zygotes themselves are the product of fusion between two haploid gametes. These gametes fuse in order to develop into a multicellular structure, which they are unable to do unless they fuse. The product of their fusion is a zygote which is able to develop into a multicellular structure.
