Question
Nondisjunction is when chromosomes do not separate correctly in anaphase. Nondisjunction in meiosis II produces

two cells with too many chromosomes and two cells with too few chromosomes.
B.

C.
two cells with too many chromosomes; one with too many chromosomes and one with the correct number of chromosomes.
D.
two cells with the correct numbers of chromosomes; one cell with too many chromosomes and one cell with too few chromosomes.
