Summary Introduction
To analyze:
Describe the chromosomal abnormality associated with Down syndrome.
Introduction:
Nondisjunction is the failure of separation of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids during anaphase I and anaphase II respectively. It results in the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes in the progeny.
