Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids to separate properly during cell division. There are three forms of nondisjunction: failure of a pair of homologous chromosomes to separate in meiosis I, failure of sister chromatids to separate during meiosis II, and failure of sister chromatids to separate during mitosis.[1][2][3] Nondisjunction results in daughter cells with abnormal chromosome numbers (aneuploidy).

Calvin Bridges and Thomas Hunt Morgan are credited with discovering nondisjunction in Drosophila melanogaster sex chromosomes in the spring of 1910, while working in the Zoological Laboratory of Columbia University.[4]

Answer - The chromosomes has to be crucially duplicated and it happens actively during the resting phase or interphase.

Reasoning - During the resting phase or interphase you call it, Is important to have the same exact DNA or Chromosomes to be duplicated. If the chromosomes did not duplicate during the interphase then the split of the cell would be unbalance and uneven and likely to cause defects.
