Errors in meiosis, such as non-disjunction or faulty recombination, can result in aneuploidy, where cells have an abnormal number of chromosomes. While aneuploidy is often lethal in early development, some cells can survive and potentially give rise to cancer. For instance, certain types of leukemia and testicular cancer have been linked to meiotic errors, suggesting that abnormalities in this process can contribute to oncogenesis.
