Question
Chapter 9, Problem 7MCQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Meiosis is a type of cell division in which chromosome number is reduced to half as compared to the parental chromosome number. Nondisjunction may occur during the process of meiosis. Nondisjunction will result in the abnormal chromosomes in the daughter cells.
