What could be described as a chromosomal mutation?
Chromosomal mutation can have lasting impacts on the person who this happens to. A version of a chromosomal mutation is the mutation that leads to Down's Syndrome.
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).
Is down's syndrome caused by a gene or chromosomal mutation?
Neither. It is an extra #21 chromosome.
What are examples of diseases caused by chromosomal mutation?
Down's Syndrome Kleinfelter's Syndrome
Is down syndrome and pku caused by chromosomal abnormalities?
Down syndrome is caused by an additional chromosome while PKU is due to a mutation or defect in a gene.
What are four types of chromosomal mutations?

How do you get Down syndrome?
You do not "get" Down's syndrome. You are born with it. It is a chromosomal condition of the 21st chromosome.
What is chromosomal mutation about?
Chromosomal mutations involve changes in the structure or number of chromosomes in an organism's cells. This can result in genetic disorders, such as Down syndrome, or impact an individual's physical and cognitive development. Chromosomal mutations can occur spontaneously or be influenced by environmental factors.
What are the chromosomal aberrations of Down syndrome?
There is no actual chromosomal change, there is an extra chromosome.
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.
