Question

What is disjunction?

Open in App
Solution

Disjunction normally occurs during the anaphase of mitosis and meiosis (I and II). In meiosis, disjunction happens when homologous chromosomes move apart toward the opposite poles of the cell in anaphase I. Disjunction again occurs when sister chromatids separate and move away from each other during anaphase II.
