Nondisjunction during meiosis I results in:

  • A One extra chromosome appearing in both resulting gametes
  • B Gametes with both homologs or neither (n+1 and n-1)
  • C Largely normal gametes with the correct chromosome number
  • D Mainly a single chromosome remaining per resulting cell

Correct answer: B. Gametes with both homologs or neither (n+1 and n-1)

Explanation: Nondisjunction at Meiosis I: both homologs go to same cell. Results in n+1 and n-1 gametes. Leads to monosomy or trisomy.

Concept context

Mitosis and meiosis: how cells divide for growth, repair, and reproduction.
