Best Answer

Meiotic non-disjunction is used to describe abnormal behavior of sex chromosomes during meiosis although the cause may be non-conjunction or failure of pairing rather than failure of separation of chromosomes or chromatids.

The child only has one X chromosome. So the mother must be X+X- and the father is just X+Y. So the child is X- , with the X- from the mom and nothing from dad.

B.

Yes it can. Non-disjunction n-1 gamete fertilized an egg from mom with the mutant X chromosome. She has the mutant allele from her mother and the non-disjunction came from her father because of the n-1 rule.

C.

You cannot distinguish whether the abnormal chromosome behavior occurred at the first or second division of meiosis. The reason for this is because with non-disjunction meiosis both parts give you the n-1 rule. So, you cannot tell if it occurred during meiosis I or meiosis II.

It will result 4n cells.Chromosomal number will be doubled from generation to generation. It also will result in abnormal individuals that may not to be able to adapt. Down's Syndrome and Turner's Syndrome are examples of this.


On what chromosomes can you find the genetic disorder called Down Syndrome?

Trisomy 21 is the scientific name for the cause of Down Syndrome. Triplication of the 21st chromosome occurs giving it 3 chromosomes total. This is caused when disjunction (splitting) of the chromosome during meiosis does not occur and leaves one cell with 22 chromosomes and the other with 24. When a cell with an abnormal # of chromosomes (24) merges with one having the normal # (23), the resulting fertilized egg has (3) 21st chromosomes or a total of 47.

What gene is affected by Barth syndrome?

Barth syndrome occurs when a person is born with a mutated, or abnormal, TAZ1 (or G4.5) gene. This abnormal gene is located on the X chromosome, which is a sex-determining chromosome. Males have one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.
