Nondisjunction is the failure of chromosome pairs or sister chromatids to separate properly during cell division. Somatic cells, i.e. cells not related to sexual reproduction, like muscle cells, adipocytes, epithelial cells, blood cells, etc., divide by mitosis. Germ line cells divide using a specialized process, called meiosis, to give rise to ga...

<genetics, molecular biology> Failure of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids to separate or segregate at meiosis or mitosis respectively. It results in aneuploid cells, where the daughter cell has two chromosomes or two chromatids and the other has none. ...

(non″dis-junk´shәn) failure either of two homologous chromosomes to pass to separate cells during the first meiotic division, or of the two chromatids of a chromosome to pass to separate cells during mitosis or during the second meiotic division. As a result, one daughter cell has two chromosomes or two chromatids...

Nondisjunction: Failure of paired chromosomes to disjoin (separate) during cell division so that both chromosomes go to one daughter cell and none to the other. Nondisjunction causes errors in chromosome number such as trisomy 21 (Down's syndrome) and monosomy X (Turner syndrome).

The failure of chromosomes to separate properly during cell division. The unequal segregation of chromosomes during meiosis. This forms cells with either too many (possibly one or more single or sets of chromosomes too many) or too few chromosomes.
