Question

Generally, it is not possible to determine whether nondisjunction failed to occur in oogenesis or spermatogenesis. However, it is possible to assert that _____ resulted in nondisjunction in ____.

Answer 1

XYY, spermatogenesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Non disjunction may be defined as the phenomena in which the sister chromatids are unable to separate during the cell division. Non disjunction can occur in both meiosis and mitosis.

The determination of non disjunction is not possible. But the XYY condition in an individual might occur when the homologous chromosomes of Y are unable to separate during the process of spermatogenesis as Y chromosome is present in males only.

Thus, the correct answer is XYY and spermatogenesis
