Are there any factors that can cause an increase in the risk of developing an error in the meiotic division; if so, what are they? The duplication or depletion of a chromosome carries various health risks; what error in the chromosomes would be least harmful and what would be the most harmful for the zygote?

Tetraploidy may result from: a. lack of cytokinesis in meiosis II b. nondisjunction in meiosis I c. lack of cytokinesis in mitosis d. nondisjunction in mitosis in the early embryo e. none of these
Briefly describe nondisjunction in meiosis and identify several potential consequences. In other words, what are the possible outcomes?
What would be a likely consequence if cohesin removal during meiosis occurred in the same way as mitosis? Meiosis would stall in metaphase II Meiosis would stall in metaphase I Nondisjunction would occur during anaphase II Nondisjunction would occur during anaphase I Meiosis would normally occur because cohesin removal is the same in both meiosis and mitosis
1)Discusses why Meiosis I is referred to as reduction division and why Meiosis II is essentially like Mitosis. 2)Discusses where problems are likely to occur in Meiosis and what these problems could lead to.
meiosis is often termed as a reduction division. what is reduced and when is it reduced?
Describe one function, brought about by the process of meiosis thatspermatogenesis and oogenesis have in common. Please write the similarities between spermatogenesis and oogenesis in a paragraph ratherthan a table. Please discuss the process mentioning differentiation, multiplication anddivision. How many stages of meiosis do they go through. Please mention if haploid ordiploid cells are formed.
Describe the events of meiosis I and meiosis II. How arethe cells produced by meiosis I different from the cellsproduced by meiosis II?
In which meiotic division does the separation of the homologous occur? What are the ploidies of the generated cells after the end of that process?
Identify the stages of meiosis described by the following meiotic events/conditions/terms. Write prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I, prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, or telophase II. In case the events are found in both stages, write the stages both. 1. Formation of chiasma 2. Each chromatid is considered as full-fledged chromosome. 3. Chromosomes begin to pair off. 4. Spindle microtubules start to attach to the centromere. 5. Tetrads are aligned at the middle of the cell. 6. The sister chromatids separate. 7. Produce 2 haploid daughter cells. 8. The chromosomes line up at the middle of the cell. 9. The sister chromatids move together to the opposite poles. 10. The chromatids reach the poles. 11. The chromosomes in each daughter cell are still duplicated.12. Spindle microtubules attach in the centromere of each haploid daughter cell. 13.
If nondisjunction of the sex chromosomes takes place in meiosis I in the male, what sexual phenotypes and proportions of offspring will be produced?
The process of crossing-over occurs during Prophase I of meiosis Prophase II of meiosis Metaphase I of meiosis Anaphase I of meiosis The process of meiosis involves:: one DNA replication and one cell division two DNA replications and two cell divisions one DNA replication and two cell divisions two DNA replications and one cell division Sporic meiosis, where both the haploid and diploid stages of the life cycle are multicellular, is characteristic of animals bacteria fungi plants
Describe the consequences of nondisjunction during meiosis
