Hi, friends. This week, we're playing one of our favorite episodes from the past.
It's one we put a lot of heart and effort into, and it's one we still think about a lot.
The episode is about Down syndrome, and you'll learn about chromosomes, visit a ranch, and, of course, get to guess a sneaky mystery sound.
Okay, on with the show.
You're listening to Brains On.
Where we're serious about being curious.
Brains On is supported in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation.
Meet Peter, Max, and Noah.
Well, we're buddies.
These pals are all about the same age.
They go to the same school in New Haven, Vermont.
They like a lot of the same things, like reading, playing ball, and of course...
He likes pizza, and I like pizza.
Noah, do you like pizza?
Oh, yeah. Pizza. Pizza.
Agreed. Pizza is life.
Max says they have their differences, too.
Noah likes asparagus and I do not.
Do you like asparagus?
We like asparagus. Really?
Another difference is that I do not like chicken and Noah does.
So they probably shouldn't order an asparagus chicken pizza, but that's not really going to get in the way of their friendship.
If we were exactly the same as our friends, that would be kind of boring.
Differences offer surprises and let us learn about things we might never even know existed or didn't think were that cool in the first place.
Some differences come from the place you grew up in, like the language you speak or your favorite baseball team, Go Twins.
Other differences, like your hair or eye color, are biological.
They come from your body, your cells and your chromosomes.
Chromosomes are part of your cells and they hold the blueprints, the DNA that makes you, you.
One difference between Peter, Noah, and Max is that Max, like most people, has 46 chromosomes in his cells.
Peter and Noah's cells have 47.
I have an extra chromosome.
That extra chromosome means that Peter and Noah have Down syndrome.
For Peter, it's just another thing that makes him, him.
Yeah, and they like Down syndrome.
I think it's cool. For Max, meeting someone with Down syndrome made him curious.
When Noah came into the school, that just made me want to know the answer to this question.
What causes Down syndrome?
And so I sent the question into BrainsOn.
We'll be answering that today.
Keep listening. This is Brains On from American Public Media.
I'm Molly Bloom, here to help me answer Max's question about Down syndrome.
