Can nondisjunction happen in meiosis I and II one after theother? If yes, what would be the consequences?
Added by Patrick H.
Step 1
It can occur in both meiosis I and meiosis II. If nondisjunction occurs in meiosis I, it means that homologous chromosomes fail to separate during the first division, resulting in one daughter cell receiving both chromosomes and the other receiving none. This can Show more…

What is the outcome of nondisjunction in meiosis I? a resultant gamete that is triploid a resultant gamete that may harbor from one chromosome both sister chromatids or none at all resultant gamete that may harbor from one chromosome both homologs from one parent or none at all a resultant gamete that is devoid of all chromosomes
Sri K.
Nondisjunction is when chromosomes fail to separate properly during meiosis. Describe what would happen to the gamete chromosome number if the nondisjunction happened during Meiosis I. Describe what would happen to the gamete chromosome number if the nondisjunction happened during Meiosis II. Which would be a more serious issue and why?
