    The maternal genotype is xhxh, so the mother can only contribute xh to the gamete, one way or another.

    Therefore the father's contribution is xhxh (=genotype of sperm), which happens to be the result of nondisjunction. Since xhxh is the result of nondisjunction of homologous chromosomes, it occurred in meiosis I.
