There are two problems I've heard about that can occur during meiosis.

1) Homologues (chromosomes that have the same kind of genetic information) might not separate during meiosis 1.

2) A fragment of a chromosome can be lost.

During meiosis 2 in anaphase 2 when the chromosome are being pulled to opposite ends of the cells well they could get pulled to the same end and once the cells (there are two in meiosis 2) enter telophase 2 where the two cells split and become four cells, one of the four cells could get an extra chromosome and this results in downs syndrome.

During mitosis the two copies of the chromosomes separate and each cell gets an identical copy of the genes. The two copies are held together by a centromere (made of proteins), sometimes the two copies do not separate from this point. This is called "non-disjunction" and the result is that both copies get pulled to the end of one cell and the other cell is missing that chromosome.

The negative consequences when meiosis goes wrong are:

*It may result in extreme abnormalities.

*Because of nondisjunction,it may lead to the following;

*Down syndrome-which are caused of the trisonomy of chromosome21.

*PATAU SYNDROME-caused by the trisonomy of chromosome 13 .

Occurs during prophase 1 of meiosis?

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

How can mistakes occur during meiosis?

Mistakes such as nondisjunction can occur during meiosis. This is the result of chromosomes failing to separate equally during either anaphase. Therefore each resulting cell will not get an equal number of chromosomes. This can result in diseases such as down syndrome (Trisomy 21, where there are 3 copies of the 21st chromosome present instead of the normal 2), or gender complications such as Klinefelter's (XXY) or Turner's (XO) syndromes.

Homologous chromosomes occur during meiosis. Meiosis reduces the chromosome number by half.


During meiosis how many replications occur?

DNA replicates once during meiosis. This is why the end result is four haploid cells.

crossing over occurs in meiosis I, specifically during prophase


What events occur in telophase?

Telophase occur in both mitosis and meiosis. During telophase nuclear membrane and nuclei reforms and in meiosis it further goes for meiosis 2 which is same as mitosis
