  2. Down syndrome is one of the known genetic disorders, in which an individual has an extra full or partial copy of chromosome 21.

  5. It is quite similar to Trisomy 21, yet in here the additional chromosome 21 is attached to one of the other chromosomes. Translocation Down Syndrome: Thus, the total number remains the same as 46 chromosomes.
