Document Summary
Nondisjunction in meiosis in a parent produces a gamete with no copies of a particular chromosome and one copy of all other chromosomes in the set ex. A single extra chromosome-the cell has three copies of a particular chromosome and two copies of the rest. Nondisjunction in meiosis in a parent produces a gamete with two copies of a particular chromosome and one copy of all other chromosomes in the set. Four copies of one particular chromosome and two copies of all other chromosomes. Nondisjunction occurring for the same chromosome in meiosis in both parents, producing gametes with two copies of that chromosome and one copy of all other chromosomes in the set. Activation of egg without a sperm leads to monoploid zygote. Failure of cytokinesis in meiosis i leads to diploid gamete and triploid zygote. Failure of cytokinesis in the first division in the zygote leads to tetraploid organism.
