Detailed Solution

Nullisomy and Trisomy are mutations due to change in the number of chromosomes of a set or sets. Inversion is a chromosomal aberration caused due to tilting of a portion of chromosome to 180 degrees due to breakage and union of a portion of a chromosome which changes the sequence of genes on a chromosome but not the number and types.
