In humans, XO individuals are females with Turner syndrome and XXY individuals are males with Klinefelter syndrome. Red-green color blindness is caused by an X-linked recessive allele. Suppose a color-blind man and a woman with normal vision and no family history of color blindness had a daughter who was color blind and had Turner syndrome. Which event could have given rise to this offspring? Nondisjunction at meiosis I in the mother Nondisjunction at meiosis II in the mother Nondisjunction at meiosis I in the father Nondisjunction at meiosis II in the father Nondisjunction at either meiosis I or meiosis II in the mother
