State
Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids to separate properly during meiosis, leaving gametes with an abnormal chromosome number.
Show
A homolog pair that fails to separate at anaphase I sends both copies into one gamete and none into the other.
Watch for
Nondisjunction can occur in meiosis I or meiosis II, and the two failures produce different mixes of abnormal gametes.
