An abnormal human sperm cell with n+1 chromosomes was produced by nondisjunction. The abnormal gamete fertilizes a normal haploid human egg cell. The resulting zygote would be _________ as it contains _________ chromosomes. Select one: a. Trisomic; 24. b. Monosomic; 22. c. Trisomic; 47. d. Haploid; 24 e. Monosomic; 45.

An error in mitosis produces an egg cell with 20 chromosomes instead of 10. A sperm cell fertilizes the egg and delivers its 10 chromosomes. The resulting zygote has 30 chromosomes. What is this condition called? Haploidy Diploidy Polyploidy Euploidy Monosomy

An egg with 22 chromosomes that is fertilized by a normal sperm will result in nondisjunction during subsequent mitosis. a zygote with disomy. a zygote with monosomy. a zygote with normal chromosome number. a zygote with trisomy.
