Answer:

Genetic disorder that can result when sister chromatids fail to separate properly is likely to occur in meta-phase (m-phase) because in mitosis during m-phase there is separation of DNA to two equal halves.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Genetic disorder is the problem that is caused by the abnormal activities in gene.
  • This is also called mutation which may cause due to error during replication of DNA and also due to some environmental factors such as radiation exposure, smokes.
  • So, during meta-phase, genes might not separate and genetic disorder might happen.
