10. Inversions are considered as cross-over suppressors because: (1) Homozygous inversions are lethal and thus they do not appear in next generation. (2) Inversion heterozygotes, i.e., one copy having normal […]

9. Inversion is termed as crossover suppressor because (1) Single crossing over within an inversion loop, leads to defective (deleted and duplicated) crossoverchromosomes and mortality of zygotes carrying them. (2) […]
