Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21, affecting physical and intellectual development with symptoms varying among individuals. There are three types of down syndrome: trisomy 21, mosaicism, and translocation, with varying degrees of symptoms. While there is no specific treatment, early intervention through developmental therapies can help individuals with down syndrome reach their full potential.

2. What is Down Syndrome?
 Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by the presence of an extra
chromosome. Instead of having two copies of chromosome 21, people with
Down syndrome have three copies, which can affect their physical and
intellectual development.
 The symptoms of Down syndrome vary from person to person, but may include
intellectual disability, delayed development, characteristic facial features, and
increased risk for certain health conditions. Despite these challenges, many
people with Down syndrome lead happy and fulfilling lives, and with appropriate
support, can achieve their full potential.

3. reason on why they have down syndrome
in scientific way
 Down syndrome occurs when there is an extra copy of chromosome
21 in a person's cells. This can happen randomly during the formation
of reproductive cells or early fetal development.
 The extra genetic material affects the way the body and brain
develop, leading to physical and intellectual differences. While the
exact cause of this chromosomal abnormality is not fully understood,
ongoing research is helping us learn more about the underlying
mechanisms.

4. signs of having down syndrome
 Individuals with Down syndrome may have
certain physical characteristics that are
common among those with the condition.
These can include a small head, upward
slanting eyes, a flat nasal bridge, and a small
mouth with a protruding tongue. They may also
have poor muscle tone and be slower to reach
developmental milestones such as sitting up or
walking.
 In addition to these physical signs, individuals
with Down syndrome may also experience
intellectual disabilities, speech delays, and other
health issues such as heart defects and vision
problems. However, it's important to remember
that each person with Down syndrome is unique
and may not exhibit all of these signs or
symptoms.

6. 3 TYPES OF DOWN SYNDROME
 TRISOMY 21- Trisomy 21 means there’s an extra copy of chromosome
21 in every cell. This is the most common form of Down syndrome.
 Mosaicism - It occurs when a child is born with an extra chromosome
in some but not all of their cells. People with mosaic Down syndrome
tend to have fewer symptoms than those with trisomy 21.
 Translocation - In this type of Down syndrome, children have only an
extra part of chromosome 21. There are 46 total chromosomes.
However, one of them has an extra piece of chromosome 21
attached.
