Nondisjunction of a pair of homologous chromosomes occurs during the anaphase of meiosis I. The four gametes produced as a result of this nondisjunction event will be:
| 1. | n + 1; n + 1; n - 1; n - 1 | 2. | n + 1; n - 1; n; n |
| 3. | n + 1; n - 1; n - 1; n - 1 | 4. | n + 1; n + 1; n; n |
Conditions of a karyotype 2n +1, 2n –1 and 2n + 2, 2n – 2 are called:
| 1. | Aneuploidy | 2. | Polyploidy |
| 3. | Allopolyploidy | 4. | Monosomy |
