Question 1

is edward's syndrome autosomal or sex-linked? dominant or recessive?

Accepted Answer

None of the above: Edward syndrome is brought on by an abnormality of chromosome numbers, specifically an extra 18. The abnormal egg with a single chromosome 1-17 & 19-22 + x  has a pair of 18's. When the sperm brings a single chromosome 1-22 + x or y then the embryo ends up with 47 chromosomes rather than 46 in every cell.(3-18's) the excess distorts the organ building information  & defects arise.
