Meiosis is a type of cell division that makes sex cells, or gametes. Errors during meiosis can lead to mutations in gametes. Defective gametes that undergo fertilization may result in miscarriages or ultimately lead to genetic disorders. The most likely mistake to occur during meiosis is chromosomal non-disjunction, which results in the wrong number of chromosomes in a sex cell.
