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 […]

Why inversions are called crossover suppressors

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) […]

7. What is outcome after single crossover between chromosomes having pericentric inversion and normal? (1) Segmental Deletion and Duplication (2) Bridge formation (3) Ring formation (4) Acentric and dicentric chromosomes […]

6. Chromosomal inversions are balanced rearrangements and thus do not change the overall amount of genetic material. While inversions can exist in homozygous condition, some only exist as heterozygotes. In […]

4. Suppose a chromosomal aberration in a chromosome AB.CDEFG leads to AB.CDEFCDFEG. The probable reason is (1) Duplication and followed by EF inversion (2) Duplication followed by pericentric inversion (3) […]
