Answer:

A XY or XY gamete fuses with a normal gamete (X or Y)

Explanation:

Meiotic nondisjunction is the phenomenon whereby chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis I or II. Meiotic nondisjunction leads to the formation of abnormal gametes I.e. gametes with additional or missing chromosomal piece.

The fusion of these abnormal gametes produced by nondisijuction with a normal gamete (X or Y chromosome). This leads to a condition called ANEUPLOIDY, which is a chromosomal disorder. In the case od Calix, XXY is an ANEUPLOIDY state that could have resulted because there was a fusion between a XX gamete and Y gamete or XY and X. The XY or XX gametes are produced as a result of nondisijuction.

agasfer [191]
Allowing a scientist to hide information from the public and other scientists has many consequences. By hiding findings, it can prohibit other scientists from using the findings to further advance the research process. It is crucial that findings are shared so advancements in things such as medicine, mental health, physical health, and  all other sciences can progress to better help people. If, for example, a scientist found that there are links to cancer and sugar, withholding that information from the public would therefore prevent people from taking precautions against cancer.

Sliva [168]
Fluorine, iodine and bromine are all in the same group. Fluorine been the first element in the group has less number of electron orbitals compare with bromine and iodine. Bromine and iodine has D orbitals which can take part in their bonding activities, this allows the elements to bond in a variety of ways, but fluorine does not have the D orbital and therefore is limited in its ion formation. <span />
