Trisomy 18, meiotic nondisjunction - what does this mean
Trisomy 18 is a genetic disorder caused by meiotic nondisjunction, a process in which the chromosomes fail to separate properly during cell division. this results in an embryo having three copies of chromosome 18 instead of the usual two, leading to a wide range of physical and mental developmental issues.
What happens during the disease - trisomy 18, meiotic nondisjunction
Trisomy 18 is caused by a meiotic nondisjunction event during which an extra chromosome 18 is inherited from a parent. this occurs when a pair of homologous chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis i, resulting in an egg or sperm cell containing two copies of chromosome 18. when fertilization occurs, the resulting zygote will have three copies of chromosome 18 instead of the normal two. this extra chromosome 18 can disrupt the normal development process, leading to the signs and symptoms associated with trisomy 18.
