The root of Trisomy 21 is within the chromosomes of the body cells.
Another name for trisomy-21, commonly known as Down syndrome, is trisomy 21.
Trisomy 21 is down's syndrome, which is an extra copy of chromosome 21
The trisomy 21 in a karyotype would look like extra chromosome 21 I ^^
There are three different types of Down syndrome: Standard Trisomy 21, Translocation, and Mosaicism. Standard Trisomy 21 is when the extra chromosome 21 comes from either the egg or sperm cell. Between 90% and 95% of all Down syndrome is Standard Trisomy 21.
Trisomy is defined as the presence of three homologous chromosomes. For example, Down's Syndrome is caused by trisomy-21, 3 copies of chromosome 21.
Down syndrome is trisomy 21
Well, honey, Down syndrome is caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21, also known as trisomy 21. It's like having a bonus chromosome that messes with the genetic party. So, to put it simply, trisomy 21 is the culprit behind Down syndrome.

There are three different kinds of Down syndrome: Translocation, Trisomy 21, and Mosaic.Translation: occurs when a piece of chromosome breaks off and attaches to another.Trisomy 21 (the most common kind): caused by meiotic disjunction, or in other words a gamete produces an extra of Chromosome 21.Mosaic is similar to Trisomy 21 in that it still has the extra chromosome in the cell, but also some of the other cells in the body have a normal amount of chromosomes.
A trisomy is when a person has 3 versions of a chromosome. 'Normal' humans will only have 2 of each chromosome. For example, having 3 versions of chromosome 21 is known as Trisomy 21 or Down Syndrome.
Down syndrome is also known as Trisomy 21.
No, that is false. Down Syndrome is also known as Trisomy-21. Monosomy is a condition where one chromosome is missing from what should be a pair in every cell throughout the body. Trisomy indicates a chromosome has three copies instead of a pair.
