_____ Can Cause Genes to Move from One Linkage Group

Question

_____ can cause genes to move from one linkage group to another.
A)Inversions
B)Deletions
C)Polyploidy
D)Translocations
E)Unequal crossing over

Accepted Answer

Translocations involve the exchange of genetic material between non-homologous chromosomes, which can result in genes moving from one linkage group to another. Inversions and deletions involve changes within a single chromosome and do not affect the location of genes on different chromosomes. Polyploidy involves an increase in the number of chromosome sets, but does not necessarily result in the movement of genes between linkage groups. Unequal crossing over can cause changes within a linkage group, but does not typically result in the movement of genes to a different group.
