Determine the chromosomal mutation illustrated by each of the following chromosomes: a. A B C F E D G H b. A D E F B C G H c. A B C D E F E F G H d. A B C D E F F E G H e. A B D E F G H

depending on the type of chromosomes a and b could be pericentric and paracentric inversions

C. Tandem duplication

D. Reverse tandem duplicate

E. Deletion

Explanation:

In an acrocentric chromosome, a is a type of paracentric inversion which does not involve the centromeres while b is a form of pericentric inversion which involves the centromere. Doubling a particular segment on the chromosome refers to a tandem duplication. Removal of a segment indicate deletion.

•there must be variation for the particular trait within a population.

•the variation must be inheritable (that is, it must be capable of being passed on from the parents to their offspring).

•individuals with one version of the trait must produce more offspring than those with a different version of the trait.good
