Inversion Loops Can Occur In

Question

Inversion loops can occur in
A) paracentric inversions.
B) pericentric inversions.
C) gene duplications.
D) reciprocal translocations.
E) both paracentric inversions and pericentric inversions.

Accepted Answer

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.
