Question

Inversion loops can occur in both paracentric inversions and pericentric inversions. Inversion loops are formed during meiosis when homologous chromosomes with different structural variations (inversions, translocations) align in a way that creates a loop structure. Inversion loops are often associated with crossover events that can result in chromosomal abnormalities in the offspring.
