Responses
A Homologous chromosomes failed to separate, resulting in polyploidy.Homologous chromosomes failed to separate, resulting in polyploidy.
B Homologous chromosomes failed to separate, resulting in recombination.Homologous chromosomes failed to separate, resulting in recombination.
C Homologous chromosomes failed to separate, resulting in nondisjunction.Homologous chromosomes failed to separate, resulting in nondisjunction.
D Homologous chromosomes failed to separate, resulting in independent assortment.

Answer 1

In Meiosis II, the correct identification of the error is:

C Homologous chromosomes failed to separate, resulting in nondisjunction.

In Meiosis II, the main event is the separation of sister chromatids. If there is a failure in this separation (nondisjunction), it can lead to aneuploidy in the resulting gametes. The other options (A, B, and D) either misstate the mechanisms or processes involved.
