what i have learned about down syndrome

so far i've learned that down syndrome is a genetic disease. This means that it starts from development. I've also learned that it can not be treated, since it started from development, it really cannot be stopped. If it is then the baby will die.The last thing I've learned about down syndrome is that people with down syndrome have development delays, their body develops more slowly than regular people.

background of down syndrome

Down syndrome is a genetic disorder, in which there is a mutation in the development of an egg or sper cell. This causes an extra chromosome, usually known as chromosome number 21.This disorder is passed down from parent to offspring.Children born with down syndrome have a wide range of mental retardation, some parts of the body may develop faster that otheres, which can lead to heart defects. Even tough children born with down syndrome have mental retardation, they are just like us, the only difference is that they develop more slowly than regular people.

why i chose down syndrome.

I chose down syndrome because it is a very interesting topic. It is about the body's dna and chromosomal development.I like scientific subjects and exploring the body's make up. Down syndrome is a mutation in the development of the body, thats what makes it interesting to me.You can actually understand how it came about and how it formed by detail.The other reason I chose this topic is that I had already did major research on it in my biology class.So this gave me a huge advantage on this subject.
