How are the cells of a person with Down syndrome different from those of a person without Down syndrome?
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.

Other animals can, however, have three of other chromosomes and have a similar physical defect, although they rarely are able to survive in the wild.
