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.

OleMash [197]
Organisms that live in water are not totally independent of soil as a resource. These organisms depend on aquatic plants for food and other substances. These aquatic plants in turn require minerals for their sustenance. These minerals are carried to waterbodies from soil by rivers, rainwater etc.
