Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids to separate properly during cell division (mitosis/meiosis). There are three...

generally not inherited, but rather occurs via a random event called nondisjunction during gamete or zygote development. The formal term for the karyotype...

called nondisjunction, in which normal cell division is interrupted and produces gametes with too many or too few chromosomes. Nondisjunction is a random...

diagnosis is reached. Pentasomy X is not inherited but rather occurs via nondisjunction, a random event in gamete development. In rare cases, it may be related...

II. A failure to separate properly is known as nondisjunction. There are two main types of nondisjunction that occur: trisomy and monosomy. Trisomy is caused...

designation (46,XX). Trisomy 21 (47,XY,+21) is caused by a meiotic nondisjunction event. A typical gamete (either egg or sperm) has one copy of each chromosome...

nondisjunction event during paternal meiosis I, maternal meiosis I, or maternal meiosis II, also known as gametogenesis. The relevant nondisjunction in...

caused by nondisjunction of chromosomes during meiosis; the mosaic form is caused by nondisjunction during mitosis. Like all nondisjunction conditions...

not caused by characteristics of the parents, but rather occurs via nondisjunction, a random event in gamete development. The karyotype observed in the...
