A

independent inversions

95
Q
  • There are 2 or more inverted segments
    which are directly adjacent to each other,
    i.e., the inverted regions are not separated
    by normal regions
A

Direct tandem inversions

96
Q
  • The 2 inverted segments are adjancent to
    each other but their positions are mutually
    interchanged i.e., g. the first segment lies
    in place of the 2nd an vice versa
A

Reversed tandem inversions

97
Q
  • 1 inversion is confined with another
    inversion, i.e., a segment within an inverted
    segment is inverted again; as a result, the
    2nd inverted segment possesses the normal
    gene sequence for the concerned segment
A

Included inversions

98
Q
  • Such inversions have a common segment,
    i.e., a part of an inverted chromosome
    segment is inverted again together with an
    adjacent segment which was not included
    in the 1st inverted segment
A

Overlapping inversions

99
Q
  • Helps to retain the original gene combination
    by reducing the crossing over frequency
A

INVERSION

100

Inversion

101
Q

which a metacentric chromosome and a sub
metacentric chromosome give rise to two
acrocentric chromosomes.

A

Dissociation

120
Q

– It is the end-to-end fusion
between an acrocentric chromosome and a
metacentric chromosome with the loss of a
