If nondisjunction occurs during meiosis I, then four (4) daughter cells will have an incorrect number of chromosomes after meiosis.

<h3>What is non-disjunction?</h3>

Non-disjunction refers to the faulty separation of chromosomes during cell division (either meiosis or mitosis).

Meiosis is a cell division that produces four daughter cells having half of the genetic material of the parental cell.

Non-disjunction in meiosis I is known to cause an imbalance in all daughter cells (i.e., in 4 daughter cells).
