Down Syndrome
- AKA Trisomy 21
- Extra copy of chromosome 21 (3 of them)
Turner Syndrome
4. Question:
Examples of Mitochondrial Disorders ?
Answer:
- Maternal inheritance
- Involved in energy metabolism

- RARE
- Ova = rich in mitochondria
5. Question:
Examples of Multi-Factorial Disease ?
Answer:
Combination of environment + genes
