Odd Sock Day in aid of the Down Syndrome Society ( More photos to come)
These are chromosomes and they look like funky pairs of socks!! There is an extra chromosome in the 21st pair (Down syndrome is also known as Trisomy 21). So someone born with Down syndrome will have 3 copies of chromosome 21 instead of 2 copies.
World Down syndrome day is on 21/3 every year and we celebrate and spread awareness by wearing funky socks !! |
