Deletion ____
A
involves two nonhomologous chromosomes, part of one breaks off and is transferred to the other.
B
is when a chromosome breaks off, then the segment flips and reattaches
C
occurs when a piece of chromosome is lost or removed
D
Occurs when a gene sequence is repeated
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Deletions occur when a chromosome breaks and some genetic material is lost. Deletions can be large or small, and can occur anywhere along a chromosome. Duplications. Duplications occur when part of a chromosome is abnormally copied (duplicated).

Detailed explanation-2: -Chromosomal Deletions Deletions involve the loss of DNA sequences. Phenotypic effects of deletions depend on the size and location of deleted sequences on the genome. For instance, deletions that span a centromere result in an acentric chromosome that will most likely be lost during cell division.

Detailed explanation-3: -In genetics, a deletion (also called gene deletion, deficiency, or deletion mutation) (sign:
