Which of the following is FALSE regarding individuals who are heterozygous for a large inversion?
A) Crossovers between homologous chromosomes that occur outside the inverted region produce nonviable gametes.
B) Viable gametes will contain either the normal- order chromosome or the inversion- order chromosome.
C) Crossover in the inversion loop of a paracentric inversion heterozygote results in viable and nonviable gametes.
D) Crossover in the inversion loop of a pericentric inversion heterozygote results in gametes with recombinant chromosomes that contain deletions and duplications.
E) There is a higher probability of a crossover that would result in reduced fertility.
