A member asked:
Can you tell me if throughout non-disjunction in meiosis. and some of its causes are smoking and radiations. is this correct so far?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division which reduces the chromosome number by half. This process occurs in all sexually reproducing single-celled and multi-celled eukaryotes, including animals, plants, and fungi. Errors in meiosis resulting in aneuploidy are the leading known cause of miscarriage and the most frequent genetic cause of developmental disabilities
