Answer: Nondisjunction means that a pair of homologous chromosomes has failed to separate or segregate at anaphase so that both chromosomes of the pair pass to the same daughter cell. This probably occurs most commonly in meiosis, but it may occur in mitosis to produce a mosaic individual.

Answer:

The organism is sterile because parts of the chromosomes in the zygote will only have a  single set of chromosomes rather than the ideal pair. The arctic fox will produce gamates with 25 chromosomes (a single set) while the red fox will produce gametes with 19 chromosomes (another set). These gametes are supposed to fuse and have their chromosomes paired. However notice that the offspring will have (25 – 19) six (6)  unpaired chromosomes. This means that during the formation of gametes in this hybrid offspring, there will be an issue in meiosis I which will result in nonviable gametes.

Epistatic interaction of the two genes

Explanation:

In epistasis, the interaction between genes contradics one another, in essence, one gene masks the  interference with the expression of another gene.  As such any time two different genes contribute and have effects to a single phenotype and their effects are not merely additive, those genes are said to be epistatic.
