What is a potentially evolutionary advantage of inversion heterozygosity?
A)inversion loops stimulate favorable allele combinations
B)haploinsufficiency does not occur in inversion heterozygotes
C)if a favorable complement of alleles occurs in an inversion heterozygote,they will not be disrupted by crossing over
D)enhanced genetic variation in the offspring
E)there is none

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inversion heterozygotes carry different gene orders on homologous chromosomes, which can prevent crossing over and the mixing of unfavorable alleles. This can lead to the preservation of favorable allele combinations and potentially confer a selective advantage in certain environments.
