QUESTIONS SET A+
✔✔How common is an Intellectual disability? - ✔✔most common developmental
disability
✔✔How to identify I.D. - ✔✔IQ, and adaptive functioning (adaptive behavior skills he or
she needs to live independently)
✔✔Down Syndrome - ✔✔Genetic disorder caused when abnormal cell division results
in extra genetic material from chromosome 21
✔✔Causes of D.S.-3 genetic variations - ✔✔Trisomy 21
Mosaic
Translocation
✔✔Trisomy 21 (nondisjunction) D.S. - ✔✔Results in an embryo with two copies of
chromosome 21 instead of the usual two
✔✔Mosaic D.S. - ✔✔Occurs when nondisjunction of chromosome 21 takes place in one
(but not all) of the initial cell divisions after fertilization
✔✔Translocation D.S. - ✔✔when one chromosome breaks off and attaches to another
chromosome. In this case, there are three 21 chromosomes but one of the 21
chromosomes is attached to another chromosome
✔✔characteristics of D.S. - ✔✔flattened facial features, small head, wide neck,
protruding tongue, upward slanting eyes, poor muscle tone, very flexible

development as one would see as part of an internship, Emphasizes engagement that
can affect genuine and long-term social change
✔✔Cerebral Palsy - ✔✔neurological disorder that affects movement and coordination
✔✔Types of CP - ✔✔Spastic, Dyskinetic, Ataxic, Mixed
