Down syndrome is caused by extra genetic material on Chromosome 21. About half of the children of people who have Down Syndrome are born with Down Syndrome themselves. See the Related Linksbelow to view an article about the genetics of Down Syndrome.
No, it is the result of an extra 21st chromosome.
yes, down syndrome is caused by non disjunction, an error in the process of cell division.
yes. a triplication of the 21st chromosome.
It is caused by an extra 21st Chromosome. So I can only assume that it is caused by the "addition" of a chromosome.
Nondisjunction
No.
The phrase is spelled Down Syndrome. Down Syndrome is a disorder caused by a mutation of the chromosomes.
Four types of chromosomal mutations are Down syndrome (which is a mutation in which there are three copies of chromosome 21), Kinefelter Syndrome (which is a mutation in which a male has an extra X-chromosome), Turner Syndrome (which is a mutation in which a female is missing an X-chromosome), and Patau Syndrome (which is a mutation in which there are three copies of chromosome 13).
Chromosomal mutation can have lasting impacts on the person who this happens to. A version of a chromosomal mutation is the mutation that leads to Down's Syndrome.

Down's Syndrome is caused mainly by a mutation in the gene. It is a genetic disorder, which means it was passed on from parents to offspring.

A very small number.
is William syndrome caused by a mutation
Down's Syndrome Kleinfelter's Syndrome
Down syndrome is caused by an additional chromosome while PKU is due to a mutation or defect in a gene.
No. Down is caused by an extra chromosome while Marfan is due to a mutation in one or more genes.
Down Syndrome is a the addition of an extra chromosome and not really related to evolution. It is more of a genetic mutation that causes this event to occur.
