As outlined in Chapter 4, you begin the proposal development process. with an understanding of the need or problem as the basis for conceptual-. izing your proposed program or intervention. Likewise, when you begin. writing the proposal, the needs/problem statement is typically the first. section completed.
An example of this is Down syndrome. Down syndrome is a disease in which the chromosomes failed to separate properly during meiosis leading to three chromosomes of type 21 instead of two. A person with the condition therefore has a total of 47 chromosomes instead of 46. The non-disjunction can take place either in the formation of the egg or the sperm.
This is the only form of Down syndrome that may be inherited from a parent. Some parents have a rearrangement called a balanced translocation, in which the #21 chromosome is attached to another chromosome, but it does not affect their own health.n general, for women who have had one child with Down syndrome, the chance of having another baby with Down syndrome depends on several factors, such as the mother's age. It is important to know that most babies with Down syndrome are born to women under 35.
