Typically, the nucleus of each cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, half of which are inherited from each parent. Down syndrome occurs when an individual has a full or partial extra copy of chromosome 21. (http://www.ndss.org/Down-Syndrome/What-Is-Down-Syndrome/)
The Down syndrome karyotype shows a total of 47 chromosomes instead of 46 (normally made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes). Down syndrome occurs when cell division involving chromosome 21occurs abnormally, causing an extra chromosome to be produced.
