Very big mistake, sorry focussed :?


The answer is father meiosis II, not mother

Fist child genotype is AAB :arrow: Disorder is a double AA :arrow: Father origin

In first meiotic nondisjunction :arrow: abnormal AC
In second meiotic nondisjunction :arrow: abnormal AA or CC


(mnemonic: a double the same gene :arrow: Second meiotic nondisjunction )
