A compensation loop is formed during meiosis in an individual who is heterozygous for an intercalary deletion. This occurs because the homologous chromosomes must align properly for meiosis to proceed, and the chromosome with the deletion forms a loop to compensate for the missing section so that the genes can align with their counterparts on the non-deleted chromosome.
