FIGURE 19.2 Causes of position effects. (a) A chromosomal
inversion has repositioned the core promoter of gene A next to the
regulatory sequences for gene B. Because regulatory sequences are often
bidirectional, the regulatory sequences for gene B may regulate the
transcription of gene A. (b) A translocation has moved a gene from a
cuchromatic to a heterochromatic chromosome. This type of position
effect inhibits the ex pression of the relocated gene.
