The heterozygote has one normal chromosome... B. D. Paracentric- ... and one chromosome inversion Formation of with an inverted segment. inversion loop In prophase I of meiosis, the chromosomes form an inversion loop, which allows the homologous sequences to align.

Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.
