Question

chromosomal inheritance: nondisjunction in meiosis ii, number of affected daughter cells
if nondisjunction occurs during meiosis ii, how many of the daughter cells will have an incorrect number of chromosomes?
multiple choice
1
2
3
4

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

During meiosis II, if nondisjunction occurs, it affects only one of the two daughter cells produced from a single parent cell in meiosis I. The other daughter cell from meiosis I undergoes normal meiosis II. So, out of the four daughter cells (two from each of the two cells after meiosis I), two will have incorrect chromosome numbers.
