Question

There are several genetic disorders that occur in many organisms where the chromosomes do not separate properly in meiosis which causes the gametes to have an abnormal number of chromosomes (refer to the diagram below). Which of the following is the stage where this would occur?

Answer 1

Prophase II of meiosis


Anaphase I of meiosis


Metaphase II of meiosis


Telophase II of meiosis

Answer 2

so, where do you see it happening?

Answer 3

Here's a hint: The process goes: Prophase 1, Metaphase 1, Anaphase 1, Telophase 1, Cytokinesis, Prophase 2, Metaphase 2, Anaphase 2, Telophase 2, Cytokinesis.
If telophase is when the nuclear membranes form, and cytokinesis is when the cell splits, what phase do you think the homologous chromosomes are pulled apart?
