How would a large chromosomal inversion affect the transcription of internal genes?
A)The inversion may have no effect on transcription.
B)The genes would not be expressed because they would now be oriented in the wrong direction.
C)The genes would be now expressed in the 3' to 5' direction.
D)It would lead to a tandem duplication.

A large chromosomal inversion may have no effect on transcription because the orientation of the genes might not be affected. If the orientation of the genes is reversed, it may affect the regulation of the transcription, but not the transcription itself. Inversions do not typically result in tandem duplications or change the direction of transcription.
