A paracentric inversion heterozygote contains a normal chromosome with the long-arm gene order GENE and an inverted chromosome with the long-arm gene order GNEE. They form an inversion loop to pair during prophase I of meiosis

If a single crossover occurs between the G and the E segments of the loop, what will be the gene orders in the resulting recombinant dicentric chromosome and acentric fragment? Assume crossing over occurs at the four-strand stage involving two nonsister chromatids.
