Nondisjunction is most likely responsible for the failure of a gamete to receive a copy of a particular chromosome.

What is non-disjunction?

When a pair of homologous chromosomes fails to segregate or separate at anaphase, both of the pair's chromosomes pass to the same daughter cell. This most likely happens during meiosis, but it can also happen during mitosis to create a mosaic individual. These are some potential causes of nondisjunction, while the exact cause or causes are unknown. Growing maternal age is linked to trisomy 21 and trisomy 18 fetuses and newborns, indicating that the mother's age may be a significant etiological component. Chromosomal structural defects such translocations and pericentric inversions might hinder chromosome pairing during meiosis and encourage nondisjunction.

allochka39001 [22]
Cheese is composed of fats and proteins. On reaching the stomach gastric juice is produced, which contains pepsin that acts on proteins to form dipeptides. In the duodenum, enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin released from the pancrease acts on dipeptides to produce peptides. Bile juice from the bile acts on fats to form small fats droplets a process called emulsification. In the small intestines enzyme peptidase acts on peptides to form amino acids, while enzyme lipase acts on fat droplets to produce fatty acids and glycerol. Amino acids, fatty acids and glycerol are then absorbed into the blood stream.
