In individuals heterozygous for a chromosome inversion, the homologous chromosomes form a loop in prophase I of meiosis.

Which of the following is effect of inversion?

A. A dicentric and an acentric chromosome in meiosis I as the chiasmata gets terminated when inversion includes centromere  

B. Appearance of deletion and duplication in both the cross over products chromosomes when centromere outside of inversion region  

C. All recombinant gamete are non-viable gametes when single crossing over within inverted region; irrespective to paracentric or pericentic inversion

D. Nonviable gametes are usually produced, resulting in a depression in observed recombination frequencies.

Which of the above statements are correct?
