    Chromosomes contain genes that provide instructions for human development and function. Mental retardation can occur due to abnormalities in chromosome number or structure, such as missing or extra chromosomes. Common examples include Down Syndrome, which results from an extra copy of chromosome 21 (trisomy 21), and Turner Syndrome, which occurs when an individual is missing an X chromosome (monosomy 13).

    00 Mental Retardation Due to Chromosomal Abnormalities

    normality of chromosome number or structure

    Chromosomes are the threadlike or rodlike


    Structures that hold our genes.

    Genes are the individual instructions


    That tell our bodies how to develop
    And function; they govern our physical
    And medical characteristics, such as
    Hair color
    Blood type
    Susceptibility to disease
    Occupy specific positions on chromosome

    iagnostic Symptoms
    Occurs when an individual is missing a chromosome from a pair (monosomy)
    or has more than two chromosomes of a pair (trisomy)
    Ex:

    Down Syndrome-trisomy 21
    Turner Syndrome- monosomy 13
