A chromosome has an inversion. Which describes a pericentric inversion?

deletion of genes within the same chromosome arm
switching of genes within the same chromosome arm
switching of genes around the centromere
deletion of genes around the centromere

Respuesta :

deletion of genes around the centromere
The correct answer for this question would be the fourth option. Deletion of genes around the centromere is considered a pericentric inversion. The Pericentric inversions include the centromere and there is a break point in each arm. Deletions and duplications occur during crossing over during the inversion which results in recombination in two loops.
