If an organism is an inversion heterozygote, __________.
A)homologous chromosomes align during meiosis through formation of an inversion loop at synapsis
B)homologous chromosomes align during meiosis through formation of a Holliday junction at synapsis
C)non-homologous chromosomes pair during meiosis due to the translocation of genes between two different chromosomes
D)it will experience normal chromosome synapsis during meiosis
E)it will be unable to complete replication due to DNA damage, and the cell cycle will be arrested

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inversion heterozygotes have one normal chromosome and one chromosome with a segment that has been inverted. During meiosis, homologous chromosomes align through formation of an inversion loop at synapsis, allowing for proper alignment and segregation of genetic material.

If an Organism Is an Inversion Heterozygote, __________
