The correct answer is: daughter cells will have abnormal chromosome numbers and this condition is called aneuploidy.
Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes (or sister chromatids) to separate during the process of cell division and consequently lead to aneuploidy. There are three forms of nondisjunction:
• Nondisjunction in meiosis I (pair of homologous chromosomes unable to separate in meiosis I),
• Nondisjunction in meiosis I (sister chromatids unable to separate during meiosis II), and
• Nondisjunction in mitosis (failure of sister chromatids to separate during mitosis)
1.What is the probability that a sperm from the father will contain the PKU allele?
Probability = ½
2.What is the probability that an egg from the mother will contain the PKU allele?
Probability = ½
3.What is the probability that their next child will have PKU?
Probability = ¼ (because each parent has ½ chance ½ X ½ = ¼)
4.What is the probability that their next child will be heterozygous for the PKU gene?
Probability = ½ (because each parent has ½ chance of donating the ‘P’ allele and ½ chance of donating the ‘p’ allele (½ x ½) + (½ x ½) = ½
