Recombination frequencies are often decreased in individuals that are heterozygous for paracentric or pericentric inversions because:
Group of answer choices
A. Chromosomes with inversions are more likely to break, leading to deletion of the recombinant region.
B. Crossing over between chromosomes with inversions in which the crossover event occurs in the inverted region often leads to nonviable
C. Gametes, thus decreasing recombination frequencies.
D. Chromosomes with inversions have extra DNA that slows down the replication process, thus decreasing recombination frequencies.
E. Crossing over cannot occur between chromosomes with inversions, thus decreasing recombination frequencies.
