How does non-disjunction occur?
Nondisjuction occurs when the homologous chromosomes fail to separate.
What process does non disjunction occur in?
Nondisjunction occurs during anaphase, usually when referring to meiosis, when a tetrad fails to separate.
How can karyotypes detect non disjunction?
Karyotypes can detect non disjunction by showing abnormal chromosome numbers. Non disjunction occurs when chromosomes fail to separate properly during cell division, leading to an imbalance of chromosomes in the resulting cells. Karyotypes can be analyzed to identify any extra or missing chromosomes, indicating the occurrence of non disjunction.
What metaphase does nondisjunction occur in Metaphase 1 or metaphase 2?
Non-disjunction is the failure of a pair of chromosomes or chromatids to separate. Since this happens in both metaphase I and II, non-disjunction can occur in either stage.In metaphase I it is the failure of the two homologous chromosomes in the pair to separate. In this case all of the gametes will be affected.In metaphase II it is the failure of the two sister chromatids to separate. In this case only half of the gametes are affected.Non-disjunction is the cause of a number of genetic conditions eg Down syndrome, Triple-X syndrome.See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondisjunction
When do chromosomes separate abnormally in meiosis?
Non- disjunction during anaphase.

Is progeria non disjunction?
maybe
Is downs syndrome a non disjunction?
A few are.

Is breast cancer non-disjunction?
It only is if you masturbate your areolae frequently. That feels really good because it causes orgasm. If they are squuezed a lot they are non-disjunction all the time, but sometimes not. It varies from woman to woman. A non- disjunction can be a healthy part of breast mammography and very pleasurable to your partner.
What is the process that results in changing of chromosome number?
Non-disjunction

Non- disjunction during anaphase.
What is the result of non-disjunction of chromosomes?
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 .
What causes disorders such as Klinefelter's syndrome and Turner syndrome?
non disjunction of sex chromosomes
Why does nondisjunction happen?
Nondisjunction occurs during the Anaphase stage of Meiosis. In this stage, the sister chromosomes move to opposite sides of the cell. However, in Nondisjunction one or more set(S) of chromosomes move to the same side of the cell.
