Answer 1

One possible result of chromosomal breakage is for a fragment to join a nonhomologous chromosome. What is this type of chromosomal alteration called translocation.

A chromosomal fragment is translocated when it is moved from one genomic sequence to another. Around two nonhomologous chromosomes, a translocation mechanism takes place in order to permit the interchange of fragments created by chromosomal breakage.

When a segment of one chromosome separates and affixes towards another chromosome, translocation takes place. If there is neither genetic material growth nor loss in the cell, such a form of rearrangement would be referred to as balanced.
