Work Step by Step

Nondisjunction is the failure of chromosomes to separate properly during cell division. It can occur in: Meiosis I – homologous chromosomes fail to separate, leading to gametes with an extra or missing chromosome. Meiosis II – sister chromatids fail to separate, also producing gametes with abnormal chromosome numbers.
