Answer:
If meiosis does not occur properly, an egg or sperm could end up with too many chromosomes, or not enough chromosomes. Upon fertilization, the baby could then receive an extra chromosome, or have a missing chromosome.

Explanation:
During meiosis, reduction division produces four haploid cells (gametes i.e. human sperm cell and egg cell) from a single diploid cell. Hence, if meiosis does not occur, it will result in a doubling of chromosomes in each successive generation, which will result in the formation of abnormalities.
