Question 7 • CMS 2026-2027 Biology CREDIT RECOVERY

If nondisjunction occurs and an individual survives, which disorder can occur?

Answer
A
DiGeorge syndrome
B
Robertsonian translocation
C
fragile X syndrome
D
Klinefelter syndrome

Explanation

Nondisjunction is the failure of chromosomes to separate properly during cell division, creating cells with an extra or missing chromosome. If the individual survives, a sex-chromosome number disorder such as Klinefelter syndrome (typically XXY) can result. Robertsonian translocation, DiGeorge syndrome, and fragile X syndrome are caused by other chromosome changes or mutations.
