Chromosome Fusions

Chromosome Fusions is a cytogenetic phenomenon in which two distinct chromosomes join at or near their telomeric regions to form a single, derived chromosome, thereby reducing the overall chromosome number while potentially contributing to reproductive isolation and karyotypic evolution in the context of chromosomal speciation.
