Frage 8 von 18

1

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • this is not true; nondisjunction occurs equally in men and women

  • Women have two X chromosomes to the one X chromosome in men

  • Women’s eggs have developed prior to birth while men form new sperm cells daily and so the eggs are much older.

  • It is carried on the X chromosome
