This week’s lab activities pertain to the type of cell division known as meiosis. Mistakes or errors during the process can lead to chromosomal-based genetic disorders/diseases such as Down syndrome. For this week’s discussion, I would like for you to find an example of chromosomal-based genetic disorder/disease that occurs as a result of an error during meiosis.
Please do not select Down syndrome. In your post briefly explain the meiosis error that leads to the disorder/disease and what problems develop in an individual who has the disorder/disease.
