Answer :

Answer:

A gamete containing an extra chromosome is formed.

Explanation:

Geminal mutations may result in the production of mutant gametes. If such gametes fuse with those from another individual of the opposite sex to form a zygote, the mutation is transmitted to the progeny. A trisomy gamete containing an extra chromosome would transmit the mutation to the offspring after fertilization.
