A mutation occurs in a germ cell where a homologous pair of chromosomes fails to separate during Anaphase I of meiosis.
What is the most likely genetic outcome for the resulting gametes?
- Two gametes will have n+1 chromosomes and two will have n-1 chromosomes.
- The mutation will only affect the phenotype of the parent, not the offspring.
- Two gametes will be normal haploid, and two will be aneuploid.
- All four gametes will be normal diploid cells.
