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.

V125BC [204]

Answer: The correct answer is C) Although the F1 generation will all show the dominant trait, the offspring will all be heterozygous and increase chances of future variation.

According to Mendelian inheritance, true breeding parents ( which are homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive) for dominant and recessive allele will always result into offsprings with heterozygous dominant genotype.

As per the question, genotype of P ( parental ) generation is AA and aa. When they are crossed together, they result into Aa offsprings, which all exhibit dominant character/ phenotype. These offsprings will increase the chances of future variation.
