Question

A(n)________ inversion includes the centromere.
A)concentric
B)pericentric
C)paracentric
D)epicentric
E)chromocentric

Accepted Answer

Pericentric inversions involve the centromere and can split a chromosome into two arms, one with the centromere and one without. In contrast, paracentric inversions do not involve the centromere, and concentric, epicentric, and chromocentric inversions are not recognized types of chromosomal inversions.
