**Inheritance: ** **Trisomy 21 occurs when ****the result in 47 chromosomes instead of the 46 in the affected cells .it is this extra genetic material that causes this problem associated with trisomy 21. ****Chromosome 21 chromosome somehow breaks. A piece of the 21 chromosome then becomes attached to another chromosome. Each cell still has 46 chromosomes but the extra piece of chromosome 21 results in the signs and symptoms of Down syndrome. This will increase about 3- 4% of cases of Down syndrome. **
