Step 1

Genome rearrangements can be caused by errors during Meiosis-True

When a pair of homologous chromosome fail to separate during Meiosis 1 or Meiosis 2, Non-disjunction occurs causing Aneuploidy that means the zygote will have an abnormal amount of chromosome.

 

Transposable elements can result in a gene deletion by facilitating unequal crossing over- True

When transposition generates 2 copies of same sequence in the similar orientation, recombination can delete the DNA between them
