Explain the difference in meiotic products that arise when nondisjunction occurs during the first meiotic division
versus those that arise when nondisjunction occurs during the second meiotic division

ANSWER: If nondisjunction occurs during the first division, all meiotic products are affected and are
aneuploid. If nondisjunction occurs during the second division, half of the meiotic products
are normal and the other half are aneuploid.
