Meiosis is a type of cell division by which chromosome number is reduced to half. It occurs during gamete formation. However, during anaphase I, a pair of chromosome fails to separate or during anaphase II sister chromatids fail to separate during anaphase II of meiosis. Both the cases results into nondisjunction of chromosomes. Nondisjunction forms abnormal number of chromosomes in the gametes.  

Nondisjunction causes human disorders in autosomes from chromosomes 1-22. The examples are Down syndrome or trisomy 21, an extra copy of chromosome 21. People with Down syndrome have 47 chromosome instead 46.

<h3>What is gastrointestinal tract?</h3>

The digestive system's path from the mouth to the anus is known as the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract, digestive tract, alimentary canal). All of the major digestive system organs, such as the esophagus, stomach, and intestines, are located within the GI tract in both humans and other animals. Food that is consumed by mouth is broken down into nutrients and energy, and the leftover waste is ejected as feces at the anus. An adjective describing the stomach and intestines is "gastrointestinal."
