O Deletion
O Duplication
O Inversion
O Translocation

Answer 1

Answer:duplication

Explanation:all others answers are either removing or keeping the same amount of genetic material

Answer 2

B.) Duplication

Step-by-step explanation:

A.) is incorrect because deletions involve the removal of one (or more) nucleotides during the DNA replication process.

B.) is correct because duplication involves duplicating a nucleotide (or more) of the DNA strand. This results in repeated genetic material.

C.) is incorrect because inversion involves a section of DNA bein removed and reattached backwards during DNA replication.

D.) is incorrect because translocation involves a section of a chromosome being removed and added to another chromosome.
