The non - disjunction of chromosomes results in - 1 -Linkage which results in maintenance of parental base pairs of nucleotides (present in genes) in the offsprings. 2 - Due to above result some genetic disorder can take place like Down Syndrome (due to non - disjunction of chromosome no. 21 ) , Edward Syndrome (due to non - disjunction of chromosome no. 18 ) ,etc . 3 - If non -disjunction of chromosomes occurs in Gametes then again it results in defect in the foetus like poorly developed features of male or female ,etc .

hope that this helps :)

What occurs during nondisjunction?
If nondisjunction occurs, abnormal numbers of chromosomes may find their way into gametes, and a disorder of chromosome numbers may result.
In Jacob syndrome did the nondisjunction occur in the mother or father?
Jacob syndrome, 49XYY, has to occur as a result of nondisjunction in the father. The Jacob Syndrome male would have received the X chromosome from his mother, and both Y chromosomes from the father (since the Y chromosomes can not possibly have come from the mother). Jacob Syndrome can be the result of nondisjunction in meiosis.
How can nondisjunction in meiosis result in a diploid gamete?
If all of the chromosomes fail to separate in meiosis, then nondisjunction can result in a diploid gamete. This is a type of chromosomal mutation. In animals, a zygote produced from the union of a mutated diploid gamete and a normal haploid gamete will have triploidy, which is lethal. In plants, this is not necessarily lethal.
What kinds of diseases can you get from having too many chromosomes?
Something called nondisjunction can cause too many chromosomes. Most result in the death of the fetus.
What is it called when chromosomes don't separate correctly during meiosis?
Nondisjunction
What is nondisjunction in chromosomes and what is the result?
Nondisjunction is the addition or deletion of an entire chromosome. The result could be autism or downs syndrome
What occurs during nondisjunction?
If nondisjunction occurs, abnormal numbers of chromosomes may find their way into gametes, and a disorder of chromosome numbers may result.
A human cell may have more or less than 46 chromosomes as a result of nondisjunction a process in what?
chromosomes fail to separate during cell division
In Jacob syndrome did the nondisjunction occur in the mother or father?
Jacob syndrome, 49XYY, has to occur as a result of nondisjunction in the father. The Jacob Syndrome male would have received the X chromosome from his mother, and both Y chromosomes from the father (since the Y chromosomes can not possibly have come from the mother). Jacob Syndrome can be the result of nondisjunction in meiosis.
Failuare of homologous chromosomes to separate properly during meiosis result in gametes with too many or too few chromosomes?
nondisjunction
The failure of replicated chromosomes to separate is called?
The failure of replicated chromosomes to separate is called nondisjunction. This will cause extra or missing chromosomes in the daughter cells.
How can nondisjunction in meiosis result in a diploid gamete?
If all of the chromosomes fail to separate in meiosis, then nondisjunction can result in a diploid gamete. This is a type of chromosomal mutation. In animals, a zygote produced from the union of a mutated diploid gamete and a normal haploid gamete will have triploidy, which is lethal. In plants, this is not necessarily lethal.
What is the process call when a human cell may have more or less than 46 chromosomes as a result of nondisjunction?
Chromosomes fail to separate during cell division (its in the lesson)
What kinds of diseases can you get from having too many chromosomes?
Something called nondisjunction can cause too many chromosomes. Most result in the death of the fetus.
The faillure of chromosomes to separate during meiosis is called?
Its called disconjunction. Sometimes it is so bad that they have a miscarriage or the following happens:Trisomy (extra chromosomeso have 47 chromosomes instead of 46)Down's syndrome (andextra number 21 chromosome)Klinefelter's syndrome (males with an extra X chromosome...XXY)
What are nondisjunction genes?
Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes or chromatids to segregate during mitosis or meisos with the result that one daughter cell has both of a pair of parental chromosomes or chromatids and the other has none. An example is Trisomy 21, which is also called Down's Syndrome. This person has 3 chromosome #21.Nondisjunction of genes occur during meiosis I when homologous chromosomes fail to separate or during meiosis II when there is unequal distribution of chromosomes. This leads to aneuploidy.
Many chromosome mutations result when chromosomes fail to separate properly during what?
Meiosis, specifically during anaphase I and anaphase II. This is known as nondisjunction and it causes aneuploidy, such as trisomy 21
