Mr. and Mrs. Smith have three sons in elementary school. Two of their children are progressing
normally, but their youngest son, Charles, has been much slower than his siblings in developing
speech and language skills. His parents are concerned that he has a learning disability and decide
to investigate further. Since some learning disabilities can be genetically based, their pediatrician
recommends a chromosomal analysis.
The results show that Charles has a trisomy of the sex chromosomes, diagnosed as XYY. A
mistake during sperm formation resulted in an extra copy of the Y chromosome. The extra copy
was passed on to Charles during fertilization. Most often, this chromosomal change causes no
unusual physical features or medical problems, but those with trisomy of the sex chromosomes
may have a higher-than-normal risk of delays in learning development.
During which stage of meiosis could this mistake have occurred?
