non-disjunction is a pathological event that occurs during the second anaphase in meiosis when sister chromatids are not separated. As a result one of the resulting cells will have 1 extra chromosome and the other will be 1 short. An example of a non-disjunction that can occur in humans is Down syndrome that has a frequency of about 1/1000 people. It is caused by the non-disjunction of the 21st pair of chromosomes.

Would an organism be able to live in a biome they don’t usually live in ?
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Usually, no.

Explanation:

Normally, certain organisms and populations have already adapted to their respective environments. If you take that organism out of its preferred habitat and put it in an environment completely new to it, it would most likely die; in addition, the same biomes on different parts of the world even have slightly different organisms and amount of vegetation covering it.
