The gene for nose shape is found on the X chromosome. Round nose is dominant to pointed nose. Human individuals with XXY (an add

itional X chromosome) are designated male. Individuals with XO (only one X chromosome) are designated female. Identify the possible nondisjunction events (rare mistakes during meiosis) that could explain the phenotype of the offspring. An XY parent with a round nose and a XX parent with a round nose have an offspring with Klinefelter Syndrome (genotype XXY) with a pointed nose.
