Most Nondisjunction Embryos Fail to Survive

Question

Most nondisjunction embryos fail to survive.

Accepted Answer

Nondisjunction is a failure of chromosomes to properly separate during meiosis. This can result in gametes with an abnormal number of chromosomes, which can lead to the formation of embryos with an abnormal number of chromosomes. Most of these embryos fail to survive, as they are not able to develop into a healthy fetus.
