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.

Juli2301 [7.4K]

The two cells of the similar shape, and size have different levels of the ongoing metabolic activity. On one hand, the cell a is metabolically quiet, which means that no energy consuming chemical reactions are taking place in this cell. On the other hand, the cell b is actively consuming the surrounding oxygen. In this scenario, the oxygen will more quickly diffuse into the cell b because the diffusion gradient for oxygen in this cell is steeper than in the cell a.

Hence, the blanks can be filled with 'b and the diffusion gradient is steeper' respectively.
