If Jack and Jill have a child with an AAa genotype, during which meiotic division, and in which parent, could nondisjunction hav

Further information from another source:

Jill is heterozygous for gene A and is going to have a child with Jack, who is homozygous recessive for gene A.

Answer:

Maternal meiosis II

Explanation:

Jill has the genotype Aa, and Jack has the genotype aa. Jack can only contribute the a, whereas Jill can contribute A or a. For the child to have 2 copies of the A allele and two copies of the a allele, that means the nondisjunction must have happened in the mother.

As for the stage of meiosis, non-disjunction in meiosis I means that homologous chromosomes fail to separate properly. This would mean that the child would inherit Aa from its mother and a from its father. This is not the case.

Non-disjunction in meiosis II means identical sister chromatids fail to separate properly, which means the child would inherit either aa from its mother, or AA from its mother, and a from its father. This could give the genotype AAa. Therefore, nondisjunction must have occurred in maternal meiosis II

2. They both have vascular system that are used for the conduction and distribution of water and nutrients to all the parts of the plant.

Differences between gymnosperms and angiosperms:

1. Gymnosperms are non-flowering plants whereas angiosperms are flowering plants.

2. Angiosperms have seeds that are enclosed within an ovary (it's usually in a fruit), whereas gymnosperms have no flowers or fruits. Gymnosperms have unenclosed seeds ("naked" seeds) on the surface of scales or leaves.
