Answer #1

The correct option is C. Since no crossing over is occurred and the centromere is also not involved, then the only change is in the gene sequence. No addition and deletion will occur. Since inversion is a heterozygote, it means only one arm of each chromosome will be effected with inversion, another arm will be normal. So two normal and two inversion gametes will be produced.
