Question

what are Lethal effects of homozygosity for a deletion

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1

Lethality is associated with the deletion. Deletion is a type of chromosomal rearrangement that includes the removal of base pairs. The effects caused by reversions can never be reverted as the base pair that are removed cannot be inserted again. The deletion of important bases leads to lethality.
