Question

drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.
match the sequences with the mutations that occurred in them.
deletion
translocation
inversion
duplication

Explanation:

Analyze the first diagram

The first diagram shows two non-homologous chromosomes exchanging segments (indicated by the dashed line and arrows showing transfer between different chromosomes). This represents a translocation.

Analyze the second diagram

The second diagram shows a chromosome where a segment containing "A" and "C" is lost, resulting in a shorter chromosome. This represents a deletion.

Analyze the third and fourth diagrams

The third diagram shows a chromosome segment "A-C" flipping orientation to "C-A". This represents an inversion.
The fourth diagram shows a chromosome segment "A-C" being repeated as "A-C-A-C". This represents a duplication.

Answer:

Match the sequences with the mutations that occurred in them:

• First diagram (exchange between non-homologous chromosomes): <blank>translocation</blank>
• Second diagram (loss of a segment): <blank>deletion</blank>
• Third diagram (reversed segment orientation): <blank>inversion</blank>
• Fourth diagram (repeated segment): <blank>duplication</blank>
