In the complex elaboration of humans‚ even genetic can develop abnormalities that will create chromosomal disorders. “Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal abnormality reaching viability” (Ramalho‚ Brandao‚ Matias‚ & Montenegro‚ 2011). In essence‚ we will review how genetic background plays a powerful role in human outcomes‚ both in normal or abnormal conditions

Balao‚ Mike Paul C. MT1311 Chromosomal aberrations are abnormalities in the structure or number of chromosomes and are often responsible for genetic disorders. For more than a century‚ scientists have been fascinated by the study of human chromosomes. It was not until 1956‚ however‚ that it was determined that the actual diploid number of chromosomes in a human cell was forty-six (22 pairs of autosomes and two sex chromosomes make up the human genome). In 1959 two discoveries opened a new era
