The scientist claims that genetic variation has occurred in the process. Is the scientist correct? Why or why not?

The scientist is incorrect. The process shown in the diagram is a deletion mutation, in which one nucleotide sequence joins another, causing genetic information to be maintained.

The scientist is incorrect. The process shown in the diagram is nondisjunction, in which a mutated chromosome does not duplicate normally, causing genetic information to be maintained.

The scientist is correct. The process shown in the diagram is nondisjunction, in which chromosomes fail to separate normally, causing an incorrect amount of genetic information to be inherited.

The scientist is correct. The process shown in the diagram is a deletion mutation, in which a nucleotide sequence has been omitted, causing an incorrect amount of genetic information to be inherited.
