Factors of non disjunction:

Other chromosomal disorders

Edward Syndrome (Trisomy 18)

Subtopic

Patau Syndrome (Trisomy 13)

Meiosis I: REDUCTION DIVISION ➡️ Meiosis II: SEPERATION DIVISION

Robertsonian Translocation
Translocation between extra chromosome 21 and other chromosome usually chromosome 14
Trisomy 21
Due to non disjunction during meiosis division

Increased maternal age, abnormal spindle fibre, altered recombinant
