Chromosome pairs undergo a process called meiosis during which they are divided. One of the pairs, known as the sex chromosomes, determines the sex of an individual. In humans, females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y chromosome. These sex chromosomes are distributed randomly to sex cells during meiosis, resulting in the formation of eggs (in females) and sperm (in males) with varying combinations of sex chromosomes.

During Meiosis the chromosomes pairs separate and are distributed to two different cells. The resulting sex cells have only half as many chromosomes as the other cells in the organism......
What is Independent Assortment.
In animal cells (meiosis) the parent (which is a diploid cell with homologous pairs of chromosomes) seperates into two daughter cells containing the replicated pairs of sister chromatids. The process of meiosis is begun again (meiosis II) from which the sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes. Then, the two diploid cells separate into 4 haploid daughter cells containing 1 chromosome. This is a generalized answer without the steps of meiosis described.

Nondisjunction occurs in too many cells or too few cells causing defects

Nondisjunction
Yes, but they do not pair up during mitosis as they do in meiosis.
I'm guessing haploid reproductive cells or something like tht.
chromosome pairs separate
chromosome pairs separate
you need one chromosome from one parent and one from the other parent. These homologous pairs each have the same genes but different alleles. For instance, one may code for black hair while the other codes for brown hair. You need both to be present in order to have both the parents traits.
