age Individuals who carry stable pericentric inversions are typically phenotypically normal, but have an increased risk of miscarriage leading to reduced fertility. The most likely explanation for this phenomenon is... Select one: O a. Crossing over within the inversion leads to incomplete and unbalanced gametes that are inviable O b. There is an increased risk of a Robertsonian translocations leading to chromosomal trisomy. O c. There is a decreased rate of gamete formation. O d. It leads to polyploidy, which is not tolerated in human fetuses O e. Cells containing the inversion do not go through meiosis ] Next page

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
