Inversions can lead to a deletion or duplication in the chromosome.(a) True(b) FalseThis question was addressed to me in an international level competition.I would like to ask this question from Gene Expression Control in portion Control of Gene Expression of Cell Biology

Answer»

Right answer is (a) True

For explanation I would say: Inversions are chromosomal aberrations that OCCUR when there are two breaks in the chromosome and the SEGMENT amidst the breaks becomes resealed in a reverse ORIENTATION. During crossing over the aberrant chromosome does not pair properly with its homologue, the gametes then generated by meiosis either possess DUPLICATION or a deletion.
