Meiotic nondisjunction is much more likely than mitotic nondisjunction. Based on this observation, would you conclude that meiotic nondisjunction is usually due to nondisjunction during  meiosis I or meiosis II?  Explain your reasoning.

Almost 80% occur in the first meiotic division. Comes straight from the notes, but can't really use "because the book says" so as reasoning can I?

I believe it's during crossing-over, the chromosomes stick together - so Meiosis I.
