Answer:
DNA can be described as the molecules which carries the genetic code for every individual. The DNA is made up of nucleotide bases which join the two strands of DNA. The sugar and phosphate form the backbone of the DNA.
Genes are the hereditary molecules which are made up of DNA. The alleles of a gene represent which traits will be carried by an organism.
Chromosomes are made up of genes. During reproduction, crossing over of DNA occurs and alleles of the genes assort independently due to which variations occur.

Answer:
B. misalignment of the chromosomes during anaphase I
Explanation:
Aneuploidy refers to an error in the chromosomal number of a cell. This occurs when the chromosomes fail to separate equally into individual cells, a process called MEIOTIC NONDISJUNCTION. Meiotic disjunction can occur in either the anaphase stage of meiosis I or meiosis II, however, different outcomes are produced.
When chromosomes fail to separate at meiosis I, it results in two gametes that lack that particular chromosome (n-1) and two gametes with two copies of the chromosome (n+1). This means that the four daughter cells will have an incorrect number of chromosomes, hence, the misalignment of the chromosomes during anaphase I will result in four aneuploid daughter cells.
