Best Answer

A gamete is a specialized cell that contains half of the DNA of the parent organism. Since the structure of gametes for different species can vary considerably normal would be any gamete that
contains the correct amount of DNA and is capable of fertilization.

If sperm is used as an example, normal would be those sperm that have the correct amount of DNA, are progressively motile and have a morphology(form/structure) that will allow them to fertilize the egg once it is reached.

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.
