Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Translocations involve the exchange of genetic material between two nonhomologous chromosomes. Inversions involve a rearrangement of genetic material within a single chromosome, duplications involve the duplication of a segment within the same chromosome, and reversions involve the reversal of a previously mutated gene. Transversions are a type of point mutation where one purine base is replaced by a pyrimidine base or vice versa.
