Ok so I would start by saying that light has a maximum speed, then explain that because space is so big we measure it's distance in light years and which means how light travels in a year at 186,282 miles per second Put that in perspective my saying If you could travel at the speed of light, you could go around the Earth 7.5 times in one second. Tell them Sunlight takes about 8 minutes 19 seconds to reach the Earth and that it can take millions or more light years for more distance stars light to reach our telescopes .

A normal chromosome and its homolog carrying an inversion are given. the dot (•) represents the centromere. normal: a b c • d e
kotegsom [21]

The type of inversion is Paracentric inversion.

There are two types of inversion at the chromosome level, depending on the centromere:

Paracentric inversions:

the centromere is not included in the inversion.

Pericentric inversions:

The centromere is included in the inversion which can transform a metacentric chromosome into an acrocentric chromosome.

the structure that will form during synapsis is inversion loop.

These inversions are balanced rearrangements but at the moment of meiosis they cause difficulties in pairing. There is most often formation of a pairing loop. The occurrence of recombination in the inverted segment causes the formation of abnormal gametes by duplication / impairment.
