There are several genetic disorders that occur in many organisms where the chromosomes do not separate properly in meiosis which causes the gametes to have an abnormal number of chromosomes (refer to the diagram below). which of the following is the stage where this would occur?

Meiosis is a type of cell division that takes place in the gametes and yields four haploid (n) daughter cells. It takes place in the in two stages namely meiosis I and meiosis II. Non-disjunction is a condition that results from failure of seperation of sister chromatids in mitosis and meiosis I and failure of seperation of homologous chromosomes in meiosis II. The abnormality in meiosis occurs in Anaphase I of meiosis I and Anaphase II of meiosis II, this causes an abnormality in the gametes formed where they end up with abnormal number of chromosomes.

answer: carbon 14 can only be used to determine the age of the organisms that were once living, and igneous rocks are non living.

explanation:

carbon 14 dating is used to determine the age of the sample by estimating the amount of carbon 14 present in the sample and then comparing it with a reference standard.carbon 14 is a isotope of carbon which is radioactive and unstable. carbon 14 is assimilated by all plants and animals throughout their life from carbon dioxide. however, one the organisms die they stop this assimilation and the carbon 14 content starts to decrease.by knowing how much of carbon 14 is left in an organism after his death, one can estimate the age of the organism. the materials whose age can be estimated by carbon 14 method are the organic compounds. however, some inorganic compounds such as aragonite   shell can also be dated.however, if we consider the igneous rocks it is a non living component which never accumulated carbon 14 in it and thus, we cannot use carbon 14 dating method to estimate its age.
