Q

What is Non-disjunction?

A

is the lack of separation of either homologous pair or sister chromatids

140
Q

we have non-disjunction in meiosis I then we end up __________

A

with 2 gametes having extra chromosome and 2 gametes having one chromosome less

141
Q

When we have non-disjunction between sister chromatids occurring in meiosis II we have__________

A

one garment that has an extra chromosome and one gamete that has a missing chromosome

142
Q

What does trisomy number mean?

A

I have three chromosomes instead of two for one pair

143
Q

Example of Trisomy 21

A

Down Syndrome

144
Q

If cell Q enters meiosis, and nondisjunction of one chromosome occurs in one of its daughter cells during meiosis II, how will this affect the gametes at the completion of meiosis?

A

One-quarter of the gametes descended from cell Q will be n + 1, one-quarter will be n - 1, and half will be n.

145
Q

What is frame shift?

A

If I have base-pair either insertion or deletion.
