Question

Which chromosomal defect is caused when part of a chromosome breaks off at either end and attaches to another chromosome?

nondisjunction

translocation

deletion

insertion

Answer 1

The answer to the problem is Translocation. Hope that helps

Answer 2

The right answer is translocation.

Translocation is a genetic mutation characterized by the reciprocal exchange of chromosomal material between non-homologous chromosomes, that is, not belonging to the same pair.

If the translocation does not lead to a loss of chromosomal material and thus to genes, it is qualified as balanced or balanced.
