300

Failure of homologous chromosomes to segregate properly to opposite poles during meiosis resulting in the production of gametes that have an improper chromosome complement.

What is nondisjunction?

300

These special types of proteins help to unzip DNA and match up complementary nucleotide bases during protein synthesis.
