Mistakes such as nondisjunction can occur during meiosis. This is the result of chromosomes failing to separate equally during either anaphase.

What happens during synapsas in meiosis?

The purpose of synapsis in meiosis is to increase genetic variability. It does this as the homolog pairs match up, which means there are 4 chromosomes of like, but possibly unique, DNA data in the grouping. This allows the cell. as it proceeds through Anaphase 1 and Anaphase 2 to separate the individual chromosomes first into 2 pairs then as individuals, which inturn adds to the variability as 1 chromosome goes to each daughter cell. .
