Question

Identify the error that occurred in Meiosis II.

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

Answer 1

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct option is C) Homologous chromosomes failed to separate, resulting in non-disjunction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Non- disjunction can be described as a phenomenon in which the chromosomes fail to separate during cell division, resulting in both the chromosomes being transferred to a single gamete.

Non- disjunction can occur in three types:

1. Non- disjunction can occur at the time of meiosis when the sister homologous chromosomes fail to separate.
2. It might occur in mitosis when sister chromatids fail to separate.
3. It might occur in meiosis II when sister chromatids fail to separate.
