Answer: e.Woman; there is not enough information to tell if the nondisjunction happened in meiosis I or II.

Explanation: There is not enough information to tell if the nondisjunction happened in meiosis I or II. Nondisjunction can occur during meiosis I and meiosis II, resulting in abnormal chromosomes number of gametes. The important difference between nondisjunction in meiosis 1 and Ii is that during meiosis 1, homologous chromosomes fail to separate while in meiosis II, sister chromatids fail to separate meaning it could have happened in meiosis I or II but we were not given.
