Non disjunction occurs when chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis, resulting in an abnormal number of chromosomes in the gametes. Assume an animal species has a diploid number of 4. Describe and/or show what the normal gametes would be like, and what would result from non disjunction in meiosis one, and what would result from non disjunction in meiosis two. You may use a drawing as part of your answer, but a drawing alone is not sufficient.
