Whole chromosome trisomy, meiotic nondisjunction - what does this mean
Whole chromosome trisomy, meiotic nondisjunction occurs when an individual has three copies of a chromosome instead of the normal two copies. this is caused by a failure of the chromosomes to separate correctly during meiosis, resulting in an egg or sperm cell with an extra chromosome.
What happens during the disease - whole chromosome trisomy, meiotic nondisjunction
Whole chromosome trisomy is caused by a meiotic nondisjunction event, which occurs when homologous chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis i or ii. this results in an abnormal number of chromosomes in the resulting gamete, which can cause a trisomy if it is fertilized by a normal gamete. in the case of whole chromosome trisomy, the gamete contains three copies of the same chromosome, leading to an extra chromosome in the resulting zygote.
