Explain the simultaneous origin of Turner Syndrome and color blindness by the abnormal behavior of chromosomes at meiosis?
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.
Are Meiosis I and Meiosis II identical steps that follow each other?
If you mean meiosis I and meiosis II, then no they are not identical, but meiosis II does follow meiosis I.

Why is meiosis important to process of sexual reproduction?
Meiosis results in haploid gametes, sperm and egg cells. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, the resulting cell will be diploid, which is the condition of normal body cells.

What Meiosis occurs in .?
meiosis occurs in the overies and the testies.....there is 2 stage of meiosis...meiosis 1 and meiosis
What two types of sperm result if nondisjunction of sex chromosomes occur during meiosis 1?
if nondisjunction occurs in meiosis 1 then the resultant sperms are XY carrying sperm n sperm without sex chromosome............ if XY carrying sperm fertilizes with normal X carrying ovum it results in XXY abnormal zygote if sperm without sex chromosome fertilizes with normal X carrying ovum it results in XO abnormal zygote
Are Meiosis I and Meiosis II identical steps that follow each other?
If you mean meiosis I and meiosis II, then no they are not identical, but meiosis II does follow meiosis I.

3 Meiosis is from a Greek word meaning to diminish or lessen Why is this an appropriate term?
The process of meiosis results in gametes (sperm and eggs) which contain one half of the chromosomes (genetic material) of the parent cell. So it results in a reduction of the number of chromosomes. Another term for meiosis is "reduction division".
