In these cases, the chromosome 21 pair fails to separate during the formation of the egg. When the egg with 2 copies of chromosome 21 unites with a normal sperm with one copy of chromosome 21 to form an embryo, the resulting embryo has 3 copies of chromosome 21 instead of the normal two.The extra is copied in every cell of the baby's body, causing Down syndrome.]]> 2019-02-21 18:01:05 UTC https://padlet.com/426114/40cweifelqw5/wish/333771151 Symptoms 426114 https://padlet.com/426114/40cweifelqw5/wish/333779384 Hearing loss
