trisomy There several types of trisomy, the most well known is probably Down syndrome, which is trisomy 21.
Causes Down Syndrome?
Having an extra copy of chromosome 21. You are supposed to have 2; when you have 3 (trisomy 21), Down's Syndrome is the result.
What is the relationship between trisomy 21 and Down syndrome?
Trisomy 21 is down's syndrome, which is an extra copy of chromosome 21
Down syndrome involves trisomy?
21
What is the genetic disorder for having three 21 chromosomes?
down syndrome
What types of Down syndrome are there?
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.
What is another name for down syndrom?
Well Down Syndrome is sometimes called Up Syndrome because most kids with Down Syndrome are very happy.Trisomy 21
What is the scientific name for Down syndrome?

Which of the following are example(s) of trisomy---Turner Syndrome Down's Syndrome or Klinefelter's Syndrome?
Trisomy means having three copies of a chromosomes. Turner's syndrome is NOT an example of trisomy. Someone with Turner's syndrome has only one X chromosome. Down's syndrome IS an example of trisomy. Someone with Down's syndrome has 3 copies of chromosome 21. Klinefelter's syndrome is a tricky one. On one hand, it would be considered trisomy because they have 3 sex chromosomes. However, they are not all the SAME sex chromosomes. Someone with Klinefelter's has 2 X chromosomes and one Y chromosome.
