Nondisjunction (medicine)


nondisjunction
<genetics, molecular biology> Failure of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids to separate or segregate at meiosis or mitosis respectively. It results in aneuploid cells, where the daughter cell has two chromosomes or two chromatids and the other has none.

Nondisjunction of the X chromosome in Drosophila confirmed the theory of chromosomal inheritance.
