Non-disjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes to separate during meiosis i, or the failure of sister chromatids to separate during meiosis ii or mitosis. as a result, both homologous chromosomes or both sister chromatids migrate to the same pole of the cell. this produces daughter cells with an imbalance of chromosomes. if 22 pairs of homologous chromosomes segregate normally during meiosis i in humans (n=23) but we have non-disjunction of 1 pair, then at the end of meiosis ii we will have:

Cladistics is a way of classifying organisms by examining the characteristics of their ancestors and descendants and depicting the relationships in a cladogram. which of the following best describes a challenge in classifying organisms this way? a. there are millions of species on earth, and a cladogram is not a practical means for classifying all of them. b. it is impossible to tell which organisms are most closely related to each other using a cladogram. c. cladograms are detail-oriented and do not provide a useful understanding of evolutionary relationships. d. there is a limited number of ways to organize the information, so most cladograms end up looking very similar.
