Question

which of these is a likely result of nondisjunction in human meiosis?
○ an increased risk of clinical depression
○ a sperm that can develop into a child without fertilization with an egg
○ an egg that can develop into a child without fertilization by a sperm
○ aneuploid eggs or sperm
○ a genetic disorder (such as hemophilia or color blindness) caused by a faulty allele

Explanation:

Nondisjunction in meiosis causes chromosomes to fail to separate properly. This leads to gametes (eggs or sperm) with an abnormal number of chromosomes, known as aneuploidy. Clinical depression is not directly caused by meiotic nondisjunction. Sperm or eggs developing without fertilization (parthenogenesis or androgenesis) is not a result of nondisjunction in normal human meiosis. Genetic disorders like hemophilia or color blindness due to faulty alleles are usually from single - gene mutations, not nondisjunction - related chromosome number changes.

Answer:

aneuploid eggs or sperm
