Generally, it is not possible to determine whether nondisjunction failed to occur in oogenesis or spermatogenesis. However, it is possible to assert that XYY results from nondisjunction during
A) oogenesis.
B) spermatogenesis.
C) mitosis.
D) cytokinesis.
XYY
Refers to a chromosomal arrangement where an individual, typically male, has an extra Y chromosome, leading to the genotype 47,XYY.
Nondisjunction
An error in cell division that results in daughter cells with an abnormal number of chromosomes, which can lead to genetic disorders.
Spermatogenesis
Production of sperm in males by the process of meiosis and maturation.
