Question
Chapter 9.7, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The way through which the polyploid offspring can be developed if the during meiosis I in one of the parent lead to nondisjunction of all the chromosomes whereas the other parent contributes normal number of chromosomes.
Concept introduction:
The non-disjunction of the chromosomes refers to the non-separation of chromosomes during either anaphase I or anaphase II of the cell cycle. This results in presence of an extra copy of chromosomes in the daughter cells.
