Difference between the chromosomes of a person with Down syndrome and a person without Down syndrome?
An individual with Down Syndrome has the presence of all or part of an extra 21st chromosome.
Can a girl with down syndrome have a boyfriend?
Yes, a girl with Down syndrome can have a boyfriend, and many do. People with Down syndrome have the same relationship needs as people without Down syndrome.
Is it possible for an individual with Down syndrome to have offspring without it?
No, because people with Down syndrome can't have children.
Are children of Down Syndrome parents normal?
That would mean that the mother is the one with Down syndrome, since men with Down syndrome are sterile. There is a 50% chance that the child will have Down syndrome and 50% chance that child will be born without.
What is the relationship between trisomy 21 and Down syndrome?
Trisomy 21 is down's syndrome, which is an extra copy of chromosome 21
Is it possible for 2 parents with down syndrome to produce a child with no non-disjunction disorder please explain why?
Since Down Syndrome is not genetic and is a trisomy, dominant and recessive genes do not play a role and it is possible for two down syndrome parents to have a child without down syndrome.
Can a person with Down syndrome have normal kids?
That depends. Men with Down syndrome have been shown to be sterile, while women with Down syndrome are capable of carrying a child, with 50% likelihood that the child will be born with Down syndrome.
What is the difference between Down syndrome and mental retardation?
Mental retardation is a side effect of Down Syndrome. Down syndrome or trisomy 21 (or Down's Syndrome in British English) is a chromosomal disorder caused by the presence of all or part of an extra Twenty-first chromosome. Children with Down syndrome tend to share certain physical features such as a flat facial profile, an upward slant to the eyes, small ears, a single crease across the center of the palms, and an enlarged tongue. A doctor can usually tell if a newborn has the condition through a physical exam. Down Syndrome also causes mild to moderate mental retardation.
What is the significance of the gap between the toes in individuals with Down syndrome?
Individuals with Down syndrome often have a larger gap between their toes, known as a "sandal gap." This physical characteristic is significant because it can help doctors diagnose Down syndrome at birth or during prenatal screenings. The presence of a sandal gap is one of the physical features commonly associated with Down syndrome.
Does infant's Tylenol increase the risk of Down syndrome in newborns?
Umm, no. You're either born with or without Down syndrome. It's not a disease, it's a genetic condition.
How are the cells of a person with Down syndrome different from those of a person without Down syndrome?
In Down syndrome, a person's cells have an extra copy of chromosome 21. In other words, instead of a pair of chromosomes, a person with down syndrome has three of that chromosome. Down syndrome most often occurs when chromosomes fail to separate properly during meiosis. People with down syndrome have a degree of mental retardation. Heart defects are also common, but can be treated.
Is it common for a person with Down syndrome to marry someone who doesn't have Down syndrome?
Yes, it is possible and not uncommon for a person with Down syndrome to marry someone who does not have Down syndrome. Marriage is a personal choice that individuals make based on their feelings and compatibility with their partner, regardless of any disabilities. As long as both individuals are legally able to consent to marriage and understand the commitment they are making, there is no legal barrier to a marriage between a person with Down syndrome and someone without the condition.
