Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Nondisjunction can result in
A
trisomy conditions
B
monosomy conditions
C
additional sex chromosomes
D
all of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitotic nondisjunction can occur due to the inactivation of either topoisomerase II, condensin, or separase. This will result in 2 aneuploid daughter cells, one with 47 chromosomes (2n+1) and the other with 45 chromosomes (2n-1). Nondisjunction in meiosis I occurs when the tetrads fail to separate during anaphase I.
