Question

Explain how chromosomal errors can occur in meiosis when creating gametes in 3-5 sentences. Use the terms gametes, nondisjunction, trisomy and monosomy in your response make it short and use simple words

Answer 1

Make it shorter and make it seem like a high schooler wrote it

Answer 2

Chromosomal errors during meiosis can happen when chromosomes don't separate properly, a process known as nondisjunction. This can lead to gametes having too many or too few chromosomes. If a gamete with an extra chromosome combines with another gamete, it can result in a condition called trisomy, where there are three copies of a chromosome. Conversely, if a gamete is missing a chromosome, it can lead to monosomy, where there is only one copy of a chromosome. These errors can cause genetic disorders in the resulting offspring.
