Down’s syndrome is caused by a change in the DNA. You probably remember that any change in the structure or the amount of DNA of an organism is called a mutation. Mutations are caused by mutagenic agents, like some chemicals, or ultraviolet light for example. If a mutation happens in a somatic (body cell) only this cell and it’s daughter cells will be affected. If a mutation happens in a sex cell (gamete) and fertilization happens, then all of the cells of the embryo (foetus) and a baby will carry this mutation. This is what happens in Down’s syndrome.\n
