What effects does nondisjunction have on the body if it occurs during mitosis What problems can an individual have if they have nondisjunction in somatic cells?

Autosomal nondisjunction is the most prolific cause of trisomy 21, or Down syndrome, a defect that usually occurs during meiosis 1, but can occur during 2 as well.

What is it called when chromosomes don't separate correctly during meiosis?
Nondisjunction
What are structural and numerical mutations?
structural mutation have four types of change in the chromosomal structure: TRANSLOCATION, INVERSION, DELETION AND DUPLICATION.while:numerical mutation results from nondisjunction, or the failure of a pair of homologous choromosomes or a pair of sister chromatids to separate during meiosis or mitosis. The effect of nondisjunction during mitosis is not harmful as the effect of nondisjunction during meiosis.
Which is the phase of mitosis during which sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes?
In anaphase, the chromatids separate to form individual chromosomes.
Genetic disorders can result when chromatids fail to separate properly. During with phase is this problem most likely to occur?
In general, nondisjunction can occur in any form of cell division that involves ordered distribution of chromosomal material.There are three forms of nondisjunction: failure of a pair of homologous chromosomes to separate in meiosis I, failure of sister chromatids to separate during meiosis II, and failure of sister chromatids to separate during metaphase going into anaphase of mitosis.mitosis
What happens to the nucleosomes during mitosis?
During mitosis, the fibers of each individual chromosome are drawn together forming the tightly packed nucleosomes. The tight packing of nucleosomes may help separate chromosomes during mitosis.

What is a meiotic nondisjunction event?
Nondisjunction is when homologous chromosomes fail to separate in Meiosis I, or sister chromatids fail to separate in Meiosis II or Mitosis. This results in daughter cells with an incorrect number of chromosomes.
What is nondisjunction and what does it occur?
Nondisjunction can occur during Anaphase in mitosis, or either Anaphase I or II in meiosis. This is the step of each aformentioned process when the chromosomes are separated into different regions within the dividing cell, so they can be segregated further by cytokenesis.
Do the individual chromosomes move apart in mitosis or meiosis?
mitosis
Is mitosis asexual or sexual reproduction?
Mitosis is asexual reproduction. Individual cells do not have sexual organs. Because of this, mitosis reproduces with identical cells.
Which is the phase of mitosis during which sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes?
In anaphase, the chromatids separate to form individual chromosomes.
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.
What is the solution to the problems caused by cell growth?
Mitosis. The cell splits when it gets too big.

What stage of mitosis is when sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes?
metaphase.
Uniqueness of individual offspring for many animals and plants is the result of a process called?
Mitosis
