This syndrome is caused by a new mutation in one or two genes in 60% of the cases. These are not inherited. The other 20% are inherited if one parent carries the mutated gene. In the final 20% both parents have to carry a different gene for their offspring to have the syndrome. In this case neither parent show any signs or symptoms.

Could a parent with Down syndrome give their offspring Down syndrome?
As the disease is genetic, DS women have nearly a 50% chance of passing on DS to their offspring if the father does not have DS.
Is Edward's syndrome caused by a recessive gene?
Edward's syndrome is not technically recessive or dominant, because it is not caused by a single gene. Rather it happens due to a trisomy of chromosome 18 (or just of a part of said chromosome). Parent's may be healthy and still have offspring with the syndrome not because its recessive, but because the trisomy arises during meiosis of the gametes. Whatever happens to the gametes affects only the offspring not the carrier parent.
When one parent is pure dominant and the other parent is pure recessive the offspring will be what?
The offspring will be a scientist.
Why is it a disadvantage to have offspring the same as the parent?
If there is not change in the offspring then they will also be susceptible to the diseases the parent suffers and will not survive.
What is the antonym of offspring?
Parent
What genes of offspring and parent are most alike after a process of?
Asexual Reproduction - the offspring will be exact genetic copies of the parent.
How will the offspring compare to the parent in term of traits and genetics materials?
the child has only one parent so the offspring will look exactly like the parent.
What forms offspring similar to parent?
Sexual reproduction produces offspring similar to parents. Asexual reproduction causes the offspring to be exactly the same as the one parent.
Why is the offspring not identical to parent in asexual reproduction?
The offspring is not identical to parent in sexual reproduction because sexual reproduction produces an offspring that is genetically different from the parents. ---- The answer above is actually incorrect. The offspring is identical genetically to the parent because mitosis produces cells genetically identical to the parent cell or cells. But the offspring itself is not identical.
What are parent organisms?
Mendall offspring
What is one characteristic passed from parent to offspring through genes?
The sex of the offspring.
What is responsible for passing albinism from a parent offspring to its offspring?
