Question

During crossing over in meiosis, an incomplete exchange of geneticmaterial occurs. This would most likely produce
a. a deficiency in one homologue and a duplication inthe other homologue. b. a deficiency in both homologues. c. a deficiency in one homologue and an inversion in theother homologue. d. a reciprocal translocation. e. a duplication in one homologue and an inversion inthe other homologue.
a. a deficiency in one homologue and a duplication inthe other homologue. b. a deficiency in both homologues. c. a deficiency in one homologue and an inversion in theother homologue. d. a reciprocal translocation. e. a duplication in one homologue and an inversion inthe other homologue.

Explanation / Answer

Answer A: normally crossing over is equal. homologues exchange equalamount of genetic information. if it is not equal or incompletethan one homologue will have extra dna and the other will havemissing dna
