Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Each cell consists of 23 chromosomes. Sometimes during the formation of sperm and egg, a chromosome ends up in the wrong cell resulting in the condition with one cell having 22 chromosomes and the other with 24. If either of these cells with an abnormal number of chromosomes mates, the extra or missing chromosome can cause severe developmental problems.
