Question

Women who become pregnant over the age of 35 have an increased risk of having

babies with
O Down syndrome.
Tay-Sachs syndrome.
Ospina bifida.
O cystic fibrosis

Answer 1

A. Down syndrome.

Step-by-step explanation:

Down syndrome is a chromosomal abnormality that is more common in babies born to mothers over the age of 35. The risk of having a baby with Down syndrome increases with maternal age because older eggs have a higher likelihood of chromosomal errors during meiosis, which can result in an extra copy of chromosome 21, leading to Down syndrome.
