Final answer:

During meiosis, four haploid daughter cells are produced from one diploid parent cell. Nondisjunction during meiosis II and meiosis I can result in gametes with normal chromosome composition.

Step-by-step explanation:

During meiosis, four haploid daughter cells are produced from one diploid parent cell. These daughter cells can undergo gametogenesis to develop into mature gametes.

Nondisjunction occurring during meiosis II can result in 50 percent normal gametes. Nondisjunction during meiosis I also results in 50 percent normal gametes. Therefore, both scenarios can produce gametes with normal chromosome composition.

So, the answer is that the gametes resulting from the cell shown in the question could be normal gametes.
