Answer 2

Down syndrome

Step-by-step explanation:

Down syndrome is characterized by the presence of one extra copy of chromosome 21. This leads to total of 3 copies of chromosome 21 rather than two copies as it present normally. Since David has extra genetic material in chromosome 21, he is suffering from trisomy 21, that is, Down syndrome.
