Just thought I'd share this story, for everyone who doesn't already know....
Which is apparently a lot of people..... Just trying to help educate!

And what causes Down syndrome... (Trisomy 21 Down syndrome)

Chromosomes of someone with Downs



Chromosomes of someone without Downs



That's it! They have ONE extra #21 chromosome.... So seriously, they aren't THAT different!  

Yes.

Seriously you're JUST figuring this out? LOL
