**Question 1: Non-Disjunction in Meiosis 2**

If a non-disjunction occurs in meiosis 2 in a male and the resulting sperm fertilizes a normal female egg, which of the following could result? Check all that apply.

- [ ] a) YO
- [ ] b) XYY
- [ ] c) XXY
- [ ] d) XXX
- [ ] e) XO

---

**Question 2: Formation of Polar Bodies**

Polar bodies are formed during:

- ( ) Male meiosis
- ( ) Female meiosis
- ( ) Both male and female meiosis
- ( ) Neither male nor female meiosis

---

**Question 3: Chromosomes in Brain Cells**

A brain cell in a normal human male would have a Y chromosome.

- ( ) a) True
- ( ) b) False

--- 

**Explanation of Concepts:**

1. **Non-Disjunction and Its Consequences:**
   - Non-disjunction is the failure of chromosome pairs to separate properly during cell division, specifically in meiosis. This can lead to conditions like Klinefelter syndrome (XXY) or Turner syndrome (XO).

2. **Polar Bodies:**
   - Polar bodies are small cells that are by-products of oocyte development in female meiosis, which plays a critical role in reducing chromosome numbers by half.

3. **Chromosomal Composition of Cells:**
   - In normal human males, somatic cells, including brain cells, contain both an X and a Y chromosome. Gametes, however, carry only one sex chromosome.

**Note:** The above information aims to clarify the processes and potential outcomes related to chromosomal distribution during meiosis.

Introduction 

When a mother cell divides into two or more daughter cells, this process is known as cell division. Usually, cell division happens as part of a longer cell cycle.

There are two different types of cell division in eukaryotes: a vegetative division (mitosis), in which each daughter cell inherits the genetic makeup of the parent cell, and a reproductive division (gametogenesis), in which the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is cut in half to produce haploid gametes (meiosis).
