What are four of chromosomal mutation?
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).

What are examples of diseases caused by chromosomal mutation?
Down's Syndrome Kleinfelter's Syndrome
Is down syndrome and pku caused by chromosomal abnormalities?

How do you get Down syndrome?

Is down syndrome communicable disease?
No. Down's syndrome is a chromosomal disorder. In order to have it you have to be born with it.
How does Down syndrome occur with no history of Down syndrome in the family history?
It's either a mutation with the gene, or either the mother or father donates an extra chromosome. 2nd Answer: True, and Down Syndrome is not a genetic disease and has nothing to do with family history. By the way, the kind of chromosomal mistake that causes Down Syndrome occurs in many people, but on different chromosomes. Mostly, your body is so tolerant of this kind of mistake that you never see any results.
Why did evolution not occur in down syndrome?
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.
