Chromosomal Changes

Question 7 • PMHS Biology I Q2

Which would least likely result from a chromosomal change?

Answer
A
death of the cell or organism
B
no effect on the cell or organism
C
decrease in reproductive function of the organism
D
change to the phenotype of the organism

Explanation

Chromosomal changes can alter many genes at once, so they often cause serious effects such as cell or organism death, reduced reproductive function, or a changed phenotype. A chromosomal change is least likely to have no effect on the cell or organism, because changing chromosome structure or number can affect gene activity.
