Chromosomal rearrangements are a source for reproductive barriers (low hybrid fitness) and are suppressors of recombination. The most commonly referred to rearrangements involved in human evolution are the formation of the Y chromosome and the variation of karyotypes between primates, especially the formation of human chromosome 2. Using the diagram below identify the types of chromosomal rearrangements and describe the impact on genotype.
