An inversion in meteorology is when atmospheric pressure causes an abnormal condition. An example would be that the pressure causes warmer air to sink closer to earth's surface and cooler air to rise higher. When this inversion happens, one of the effects is that pollution and smog stay trapped within our atmosphere.

A mutation that involves one or a few nucleotides is called a?
Sorry to burst the persons bubble that said frameshift mutation but its wrong. Point mutation-gene mutation involving changes in one or a few nucleotides. point mutation
What are three types of chromosomal mutations?
Insertion, Deletion and Frameshift mutation. These are the 3 basic types of mutation, however, there are other types of mutations: substitution, translocation, duplication, inversion, transversion and transition.
4 chromosome mutations?
They include: trans-location, deletion, duplication and inversion. A chromosome mutation is an unpredictable change that occurs in a chromosome.
How might banding patterns be important to detecting an inversion mutation?
Because in genetics, characteristic banding patterns on chromosomes can locategenes by relating individual genes to particular bands. In doing so the inversion mutation (when a section breaks free, rotates 180 degrees and rejoins and is thus inverted) can be identified. If the normal gene is a particular band, then a mutated gene will not have the same band.
Which of the following is a point mutation that does not produce a frame shift?
A point mutation that does not produce a frame shift is when one single base is replaced by a different base. This changes the DNA sequence, but does not cause a frame shift because it is a switch not an addition or subtraction of a base.
What is an mutation?
An Inversion mutation is a mutation that causes a reversal in the order of a segment of a chromosome within the chromosome, or a gene.
What mutation involves two chromosomes?
Inversion and duplication!
What does insertion and inversion mutation have in common?
They are both mutations of chromosomes
What type of mutation results in the Reversal of the direction of part of the chromosome?
The type of mutation that results in the reversal of the direction of part of the chromosome is called an inversion mutation. It occurs when a segment of the chromosome breaks and is reinserted in the opposite orientation. This can disrupt the normal functioning of genes located within the inverted region.
What is the biology meaning of inversion?
A chromosomal mutation in which a block of genes in a segment is in reverse order
4 types of mutation resulting from the breakage of chromosomes?
Its deletion duplicating inversion and translational
Is a chromosomal mutation where pieces of the chromosome are switched?
Nope, what you're thinking of is actually called an inversion mutation (a type of structural aberration); a chromosomal mutation is simply any sort of mutation that affects an organism's genotype.
The type of mutation in which a chromosome segment breaks away and recombines in reverse order is called?
inversion
What are different types of mutation?
Deletion, insertion, inversion, translocation, and duplication [for the ppl. Who dnt kno!!]
A mutation that involves one or a few nucleotides is called a?
Sorry to burst the persons bubble that said frameshift mutation but its wrong. Point mutation-gene mutation involving changes in one or a few nucleotides. point mutation
Describe four types of mutation resulting from the breakage of chromosome?
Deletion, duplication, inversion, translocation.
