Is the smallest gene cell chromosome?
Chromosome 21 is the smallest human chromosome. Inside of the chromosome, there are 48 billion nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA.
Defect on chromosome 21 where a third chromosome is present what is this defect called?
This is trisomy 21 i.e. Downs syndrome
Gene A occurs on chromosome 5 gene B on chromosome 21 Therefore these two parts of a chromosome cannot be what?
alleles
What is trisomy mutation?
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 usually caused by an extra copy of what chromosome?
Down syndrome occurs because of the extra chromosome on chromosome 21. If you go onto google images and type in karyotype of Down syndrome, you will find a picture of the extra chromosome. Instead of having two chromosomes on chromosome 21, there is an extra. Type your answer here...
Is Down syndrome a genetic disorder or a chromosome disorder?

What might happen if human chromosomes did not separate?
well if human chromosomes number 21 does not separate during fertilization the baby will be with down syndrome. at fertilization of the egg with a normal sperm the zygote contain three chromosome number 21 (trizomic 21) hence the zygote contain 47 chromosome instead of 46.
What does the karyotype of a person with down syndrome show?
A genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21.
Gene A occurs on chromosome 5 gene B on chromosome 21 Therefore these two parts of a chromosome cannot be what?
alleles
