Familial Down syndrome is similar to primary Down syndrome in that it is caused by trisomy 21. However, in familial Down syndrome, all or part of the third copy of chromosome 21 has translocated onto another autosome, typically chromosome 14. In cases of familial Down syndrome, one of the parents of the affected child is often a carrier of a translocated chromosome. The translocation carrier parent does not have Down syndrome because he or she has a total of two copies of chromosome 21. Suppose that a woman is a translocation carrier of chromosome 21 on chromosome 14. She conceives six zygotes with a man who carries no aneuploidies.

Question
Familial Down syndrome is similar to primary Down syndrome in that it is caused by trisomy 21. However, in familial Down syndrome,
all or part of the third copy of chromosome 21 has translocated onto another autosome, typically chromosome 14. In cases of familial
Down syndrome, one of the parents of the affected child is often a carrier of a translocated chromosome. The translocation carrier
parent does not have Down syndrome because he or she has a total of two copies of chromosome 21.
Suppose that a woman is a translocation carrier of chromosome 21 on chromosome 14. She conceives six zygotes with a man who
carries no aneuploidies. Match the description of the chromosomes inherited by each zygote with the viability and phenotype of
the zygote.
✓ Two normal copies of 14, two normal copies of 21
two normal copies of 21, one normal copy of 14
✓one normal copy of 14, one 21 to 14 translocation, one
normal copy of 21
✓two normal copies of 14, one normal copy of 21, on 21 to 14
translocation
✓one normal copy of 14, two normal copies of 21, one 21 to
14 translocation
✓one normal copy of 21, two normal copies of 14
A. viable, without Down syndrome (normal karyotype or
translocation carrier)
B. viable, with Down syndrome
C. inviable
