Question
during meiosis, two chromosomes did not separate correctly. what may result from this error?
variation
chromosomal mutation
gene mutation
trisomy
During meiosis, if chromosomes do not separate correctly (nondisjunction), it can lead to an abnormal number of chromosomes in the resulting gametes. Trisomy is a condition where there is an extra chromosome (three copies instead of two). Variation is a general term for differences. Chromosomal mutation can involve changes in chromosome structure. Gene mutation affects a single gene. Nondisjunction specifically can cause trisomy.
