Answer:

Extra chromosome number 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Down's syndrome results from the presence of an extra chromosome number 21. This phenomenon where one has three members of a homologous chromosome is called trisomy. Such children are mentally deficient, have a slit eyed appearance and have low chances of surviving because of reduced resistance to infection.
