∙ 15y agoThrough genes......
More specifically, the interaction between the parents' dominant and recessive genes provides you with the probability that the offspring will have the disease. That probability changes depending on if the parents actually carry the gene, and whether that gene is dominant or recessive (as the former will increase the likelihood that the child will inherit the disease).

It is just at random that a parent has a copy of chromosome 21 and scientist are still working to this day to find a working cure.

∙ 9y agoDown syndrome cannot be spread from one person to another; it is not contagious. Down syndrome happens when chromosome 21 is present.

How is inheritance syndrome inherited?
by parents or previous family members who had it
What is a chromosomal disorder that could result from nondisjunction?
Disorders, such as Down's Syndrome, are caused by nondisjunction.
Is Tourette syndrome a single gene disorder?
The exact cause of Tourette syndrome is currently unknown, but it is well established that both genetic and environmental factors are involved. Genetic epidemiology studies have shown that the overwhelming majority of cases of Tourette syndrome are inherited, although the exact mode of inheritance is not yet known and no gene has been identified. It seems unlikely that only a single gene controls Tourette syndrome, most likely it is the result of some suite of interacting genes.

The inheritance of Marfan syndrome is an example of?
The "autosomal dominant" method of inheritance. if your question as Marfan syndrome is the result of inheriting a single allele.

Pleiotropy.
Can anybody describe the mitochondrial mode of inheritance?
no
How does the mode of inheritance affect the prediction and analysis of inheritance patterns?
There are lots of ways. A simple way is to do a Punnett Square. It's useful in studying independent inheritance patterns (multiple traits that are not on the same chromosome).
