Principle of Inheritance and VariationHard
Question
The formation of multivalents at meiosis diploid organism is due to
Options
A.monosomy
B.inversion
C.deletion
D.reciprocal translocation
Solution
In case a translocation is present in one of the two sets of chromosomes, this will be translocation heterozygote. In such an organism, normal pairing into bivalents would not be possible. Instead, pairing between homologous segments of chromosome would result in an ′X′ shaped arrangement involving four chromosomes (multialent).
