Answer:

The correct answer would be D) translocation.

Chromosomal translocation refers to the rearrangement or exchange of part of non-homologous chromosomes.

It can be of two types:

Balanced: It is an even exchange in which genetic information is neither lost or gained and genes are usually fully functional.

Unbalanced: It is an unequal exchange of materials during which some part of a chromosome may get lost or gained due to which function of a gene may get lost.

It can cause various diseases such as cancer especially leukemia and lymphoma, infertility, XX male syndrome et cetera.

Very small, rocky bodies that orbit the sun are called _______. group of answer choices
Brrunno [24]

Meteoroids are incredibly tiny, stony bodies that revolve around the sun. As with planets, asteroids, and comets, rocks or iron chunks called meteoroids orbit the sun.

As a meteoroid enters the atmosphere, friction warms it up, producing a brilliant trail of hot ionized gases (plasma) known as a meteor. If the item survives both its entry into the atmosphere and its landing on the ground, it is referred to as a meteorite. Asteroid pieces make up more than 99 percent of meteorites. A tiny group is known to have come from the moon, and another group is widely believed to have originated on Mars.  Although it hasn't been proven conclusively, there is also grounds to think that some are pieces of comets rocky debris.
