choose all the ways in which inversions can produce mutant phenotypes. multiple select question. if an inversion is pericentric, the centromere of the chromosome can be deleted and the chromosome may be lost during the next division. a gene may be inactivated in some cells if an inversion moves it from a region of the chromosome's euchromatin to a region near heterochromatin. if an inversion moves a gene in a new chromosomal environment, its expression patterns can change. in some cases inversions can result in 100 to 1000 bp deletions. if those deletions are in a gene, it will be inactivated. if an inversion breakpoint is within a gene, that gene will be inactivated.
