Get your facts straight, firebrand!

Downs is genetic! It's also called "Trisomy 21" - because the 21st chromosome pair (of the 23 pairs every normal human has) is present, not as a pair, but as a triplet.

It is not, however, inherited. (I.e., the parents are usually genetically normal.)

Regards,

????? It’s entirely genetic. It’s an extra chromosome (#21).
