*A reciprocal translocation occurs between chromosomes 14 and 21 in a spermatogonium. If alternate segregation occurs during metaphase I of meiosis, how many of the four spermatozoa produced will contain the correct haploid AMOUNT of genetic material?
*Based on the question above, how many spermatozoa would contain normal (no translocation) monads?
