| | The long arm alone is thus effective in prohibiting homoeologous association; but no evidence is available on the effects of the short arm alone. | | | Polyploid wheat has therefore evolved to behave cytologically as a diploid. | | | Several authors have favoured the theory that this situation has been achieved by the selective accumulation of many small changes of chromosome structure, which lead to the divergence of homoeologues. |

| | In some groups the poorer reproductive performance could be explained by the age structure of the flock and inbreeding depression, which probably affected the performance of some animals. | | | Also, since both of the chromosomes that hypothetically were fused had a centromere (the distinctive central part of the chromosome), we should see some evidence of two centromeres. | | | We conclude that prenatal chromosome analysis is not justified for inv(10) carriers. |
