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/)
If someone has an extra chromosome it means there was a genetic  mutation that is abnormal in human development. It may result in  problems with the person affecting them onâ¦ a basic level, or may go  fully unnoticed. A common disorder that can be caused by having an  extra chromosome is Down's Syndrome.
