MCQ (Single Correct) +4 −1
________ can occur in either the first or second meiotic division to produce abnormal gametes. Choose the correct word from the below-given option to fill in the gap:
असामान्य युग्मक (abnormal gametes) उत्पन्न करने के लिए पहली या दूसरी अर्धसूत्री विभाजन (meiotic division) में ________ हो सकता है। रिक्त स्थान की पूर्ति के लिए नीचे दिए गए विकल्पों में से सही शब्द चुनिए:

Non-disjunction:

  • Non-disjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes to separate during Meiosis I (Anaphase I) or the failure of sister chromatids to separate during Meiosis II (Anaphase II).
  • Meiosis I Non-disjunction: Leads to 100% abnormal gametes ($n+1, n+1, n-1, n-1$).
  • Meiosis II Non-disjunction: Leads to 50% abnormal gametes ($n+1, n-1$) and 50% normal gametes ($n, n$).
  • Fertilization of these abnormal gametes leads to aneuploidy (e.g., trisomy $2n+1$ such as Down syndrome or monosomy $2n-1$ such as Turner syndrome).
  • Translocation and Inversion are structural chromosomal aberrations, while Insertions are gene-level mutations.

Correct Answer: Option 3 (Non-disjunction).
