The correct option is C Failure of chromosomes to separate during meiosis Non-disjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes or sister
chromatids to separate properly during cell division. It results in daughter cells with abnormal chromosome numbers. Calvin

in dividing cells in the year 1910. This is one of the most common forms
of chromosomal aberration that occurs in humans.
So, the correct option is 'Failure of chromosomes to separate during meiosis'.
