Researchers in the Netherlands studied the effects of parental caregiving in European kestrels over 5 years. The researchers transferred chicks among nests to produce reduced broods (three or four chicks), normal broods (five or six),  and  enlarged  broods  (seven  or  eight).  They then measured the percentage of male and female parent birds that survived the following winter. (Both males and females provide care for chicks.) Brood Size Manipulations in the Kestrel: Effects on Offspring and Parent Survival

B. the inversion will completely suppress crossing over

C. All parental gametes that carry inversion chromosome are nonviable

An individual is having an inversion in heterozygous condition. The regions on normal chromosome are marked as A, B, C, D, E, F, G while the chromosome having inversion has the regions as a, b, e, d, c, f, g. The diagram given below shows pairing of these two homologous chromosomes during meiosis and the site of a crossing over is indicated:

The following statements are given to describe the inversion and the consequence of crossing over shown in the above diagram:

A. This is a paracentric inversion

B. This will generate a dicentric and an acentric chromosome following separation of chromosomes after crossing over

C. This will generate two recombinant chromosomes with deletion and other parental chrmosome following separation of chromosomes after crossing over

D. 50 % gametes will be non viable due to deletion or duplication of chromatids

E. The gametes having recombinant chromatid or parental inversion chromatids will be non-viable
