Which disease is attributed to nondisjunction? a) hemophilia b) down's syndrome c) cystic fibrosis d) sickle-cell anemia

Down's syndrome

Explanation:

Down syndrome also called trisomy 21 is a chromosomal disorder (aneuploidy) in which an extra chromosome is added to chromosome 21 in humans. It is caused by a term called NONDISJUNCTION.

Meiotic nondisjunction is a phenomenon whereby pairs of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids fail to separate during meiosis. Nondisjunction can occur during meiosis I or II.

Meiotic nondisjunction produces gametes with anomalies i.e. gametes with extra copies of chromosome (n+1) or deficient of chromosomes (n-1). Note that, a normal haploid gamete is (n). When this gametes with anomalies combine with normal gametes during fertilization, they produce a chromosomal disorder known as ANEUPLOIDY in the resulting organism.

In the case of Down's syndrome or Trisomy 21, a gamete with (n+1) chromosome is fertilized by a normal gamete (n) to have three copies of chromosome 21.

ans.

gregor john mendel is known for study of inheritance in pea plants. he used garden pea plant for his study, having alternative traits for various characters. he performed cross-breeding in pea plants to check how characters are transmitted between parents to offspring, such as cross between pure tall and pure dwarf plant. mendel studied the inheritance patterns in pea plants for various generations.

thus, the correct answer includes options and f).
