The failure of replicated chromosomes to separate is called nondisjunction. This will cause extra or missing chromosomes in the daughter cells.
Yes, meiosis includes an interphase stage where chromosomes are replicated. This occurs during the S phase of interphase, leading to the formation of sister chromatids that will later separate during meiosis.
A failure of homologous chromosomes to separate in meiosis is called nondisjunction. This can result in cells with an abnormal number of chromosomes, leading to genetic disorders such as Down syndrome. Nondisjunction can occur during either the first or second division of meiosis.
Synapsis is the process where replicated homologous chromosomes pair up and form tetrads during meiosis.
Chromosomes are replicated during the S phase of the cell cycle through a process called DNA replication. This process involves unwinding the DNA strands, synthesizing new complementary strands, and proofreading for accuracy. The result is two identical copies of each chromosome, known as sister chromatids.
The failure of a pair of homologous chromosomes to separate properly during cell division is called non-disjunction. This can result in an incorrect distribution of chromosomes into daughter cells, leading to cells with an abnormal chromosome number (aneuploidy). Non-disjunction can result in conditions like Down syndrome.

When chromosomes make an exact copy of themselves, they are called sister chromatids. Sister chromatids are identical copies of a chromosome that are held together by a structure called the centromere.
In Meiosis, Anaphase 2 sister chromatids (individual strands) separate and one of each duplicate goes to each side of the cell.
The replicated chromosomes are attached to the cell membrane by proteins called tubulin that form a structure known as the mitotic spindle. The spindle fibers pull the duplicated chromosomes apart, ensuring that each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes during binary fission.
The term for when chromosomes fail to separate during cell division is called nondisjunction.
The failure of chromosome pairs to separate properly during meiosis is called nondisjunction. This can lead to an incorrect number of chromosomes in the resulting gametes, causing aneuploidy in the offspring. Aneuploidy can result in genetic disorders such as Down syndrome.

Chromosomes usually occur in pairs in body cells. One chromosome in the pair comes from one parent and the other chromosome comes from the other parent. The two chromosomes are the same size and shape and carry the same genes in the same positions. They are called homologous chromosomes. When cells divide the chromosomes first have to copy themselves (ie replicate). Each homologous chromosome makes a replica of itself, and the original and replica are attached to each other at a region called the centromere.
