Question
What is a nondisjunction?
View Available Hint(s)for Part A
An error in cell division that causes homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids to move to the same side of the dividing cell
An error in which a diploid cell or organism has an extra chromosome of one type, producing a chromosome number of 2n + 1
An error in which a diploid cell or organism lacks a chromosome of one type, producing a chromosome number of 2n - 1
None of the above
Part B

Part F
If a diploid cell undergoes meiosis and produces two gametes that are normal, and one with n ā 1 chromosomes, and one with n + 1 chromosomes, what type of error occurred?
View Available Hint(s)for Part F
No error occurred; these are normal gametes.
A nondisjunction error occurred in meiosis I, in which both members of a homologous pair migrated to the same pole of the cell.
A nondisjunction error occurred in meiosis I, in which both members of all homologous pairs migrated to the same pole of the cell.
A nondisjunction error occurred in meiosis II, in which both sister chromatids of a chromosome migrated to the same pole of the cell.
Part G
