    The formation of multi valents at meiosis in diploid organism is due to

    A)  mono so my

    B)  inversion

    C)  deletion

    D)  reciprocal translocation

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    In case, a translocation is present in one of the two sets of chromosomes, this will be a translocation heterozygote. In such an organism, normal pairing into bivalents would not be possible. Instead, pairing between homologous segments of chromosomes would result in an X-shaped arrangement involving four chromosomes (multivalent).
