Answer:

Translocation

Explanation:

Abnormalities occur in the chromosomes of living organisms. These chromosomal abnormalities are caused by MUTATION. Mutation is any change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene, which is found on chromosomes.

According to the question, a chromosomal defect that involves the exchange of chromosomal segment between two different chromosomes is called TRANSLOCATION. In Translocation, one part or segment of a chromosome containing genes breaks off and gets reattached to another chromosome in the cell.

Pepsi [2]
It has been a while since biology...but if there is one thing I definitely remember, it is the replication process of DNA.

Once the cell is ready to commence the process of replication, it begins by unzipping the double helix. This task is completed by an enzyme called the DNA Helicase. Then a DNA Polymerase takes half of the unzipped DNA strand and creates corresponding deoxyribonucleotides.

Hope I could help! Have a good one.
