Say you have a normal individual with two copies of chromosome A and two of chromosome B.
Now say there's a (Robertsonian) translocation to make a hybrid chromosome AB; due to this event, you are now left with one copy of chromosome A, one copy of chromosome B, and the hybrid chromosome AB.
KA says that this individual will now be able to make 6 different types of gametes (A, B, AB, A/AB, A/B, B/AB). This means the three types of chromosomes can synapse and assort however they want during...
