Research a disease or defect that occurs in one of the stages of meiosis (cancer, Down Syndrome, non-disjunction, etc) Address the following: What changes occur during meiosis that lead to or are caused by this disease? Make sure you highlight the changes that occur during whichever specific stage of meiosis is disrupted vs what would normally happen. Is there currently any way to treat it? At what point in time can you determine if this disease is present? How?
