People who are born with the condition called Down syndrome generally have three copies of a certain chromosome (chromosome 21), rather than the usual two copies. What can you deduce from this regarding the proteins produced by a person with Down syndrome?

Excessive production of some enzymes could alter the biochemical pathway leading to the production of some products that might be acting as inhibitors of some other pathway. All this may have a deleterious effect on the person.

there are probably more proteins produced that could possibly inhibit other proteins that need to get to certain places but are blocked from the excess proteins producd by the third chromosome
