This image illustrates the differences that occur in non-disjunction in comparison to normal meiosis. It occurs when the chromosomes fail to separate and so both may be present in one of the daughter cells.


Assessment

+ Meets student drawn image assessment criteria.

- Simple cartoon shows no-disjunction, has element of peer teaching. - While non-disjunction is an key component of this topic. It is not clear to me why we require 3 different student drawn images of this process. A better group coordination would have resolved this issue.
