What would happen if the sister chromatids in mitosis or meiosis did not separate properly in mitosis or meiosis.
Under normal conditions, what happens to the cell cycle if the chromosomes fail to separate properly at anaphase?
Rarely, both sister chromatids of a replicated chromosome end up in one daughter cell. How might this happen? What could be the consequences of such a mitotic error?
