(i) non-disjunction of chromosomes
(ii) polyploidy
Answer
(i) non-disjunction is the
failure of homologous chromosome pairs or sister chromatids to segregate into
different daughter cells during mitosis or meiosis. Both homologous chromosomes
and sister chromatids end up in the same daughter cell during cell
division.
(ii) poluploidy is an example of euploidy. It describe the condition
of a nucleus, cell or organism that contains three or more complete sets of
chromosomes. Polyploidy can be divided into autopolyploidy in which the
three or more sets of chromosomes are derive from the same species and allopolyploidy
when they are derive from different species.
