Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Humans cell contain 46 chromosome (2n) and are diploid in nature but at the time of fertilization only 23(n) chromosome is receive by mother and 23 (n) chromosome is receive by father to form a zygote by the process of meiosis. Some humans are born with abnormalities as they receive abnormal chromosomal number in their cell. Abnormal chromosome is formed when chromosome fails to separate during meiosis and is known as non- disjunction.
