Dictionary » D » Disjunction DisjunctionDefinition noun The normal separation or moving apart of chromosomes toward opposite poles of the cell during cell division.
Disjunction normally occurs during the anaphase of mitosis and meiosis (I and II). During the anaphase of mitosis, sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles of the cell. In meiosis, disjunction happens when homologous chromosomes move apart toward the opposite poles of the cell in anaphase I. Disjunction again occurs when sister chromatids separate and move away from each other during anaphase II.
Compare: nondisjunction.

Genetic Questions - please help!... are deleterious, but are essential to the evolutanary process..Why? (Q4) What evidence is there that states that Downs syndrom is a result of non-disjunction at oogenesis rather than spermatogenesis? (Q5) Humans with aneuploid karyotypes occur but are non-viable. Why is this?? I know there are ...

monosomy and trisomy... Monosomy is prresence/absence of one of the chromosome of a pair. eg. for sex chromosomes normal condition is XX or XY some times due to non disjunction the individual become XO. here O means no chromosome. this is called Turner's syndrome. Monosomy in autosomes is rare and Lethal. Trisomy: ...

Need help with homework... for normal blood.) 3. Draw 2 sets of pictures that illustrate how trisomy-21 occurs. One set of pictures should illustrate how it occurs from non-disjunction during anaphase I and the 2nd set of drawings should illustrate how it arises during anaphase II. You will need to unite the abnormal gamete ...
