f. Homobrachial Displaced Duplication

g. Nonreciprocal Translocation

h. Robertsonian Translocation

i. Interstitial Deletion

j. Paracentric Inversion

k. Pericentric Inversion

Respuesta :

Answer:

k. Pericentric Inversion

Explanation:

Such type of the condition in which any abnormality takes place in the chromosomes due to deletion or addition of the nucleotide in the DNA of the chromosomes is known as a chromosomal aberration or chromosomal abnormality. Generally, it takes place due to, mutation process and is classified into different groups such as deletion, insertion, pericentric inversion, and some others.

Inversion is a type of chromosomal abnormality in which the genetic material is inverted and thus caused abnormality. When the inversion process occurs around the centromeres then such type of chromosomal abnormality is called a pericentric inversion.
