About this document
Apoptosis and Cell Division Disorders by Maricel Yamat is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Mistakes during cell division can lead to genetic disorders and diseases. Down syndrome results when abnormal cell division causes an extra copy of chromosome 21. Errors in mitosis can also produce daughter cells with too many or too few chromosomes, known as aneuploidy, which is lethal for nearly all aneuploidies. Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome is another genetic condition caused by defects in cell division that causes rapid aging in children.
