Answer:
Translocation
Explanation:
Translocation is a chromosomal defect in which part of a chromosome breaks off and reattaches backward on the same chromosome.
Translocation can happen due to many reasons like:
A) Some of the changes that arise around the time of conception or production of sperm or egg.
B) The inheritance of altered chromosome from father or mother.
Translocations can be divided into two forms:
- Reciprocal translocation
- Robertsonian translocation.
In reciprocal translocations, fragments of two chromosomes break off from two different places, break and swap each other's segments. While in Robertsonian translocation one chromosome attached with other.

Answer:
a) R= allele for red colored flower
I= Allele for ivory flowers
b) Genotype of pink flowered plant: RI
c) Incomplete dominance
d) 100%
Explanation:
When the dominant allele is not able to fully mask the expression of the recessive allele in the heterozygous state, it is said to be incomplete dominance. The R and I alleles impart red and ivory color respectively to the flowers of the snapdragon plant. The heterozygous genotype "RI" imparts a pink color to the flowers and therefore, the alleles are said to exhibit incomplete dominance.
The genotype of red-flowered snapdragon plant = RR. The genotype of ivory flowered snapdragon plant= II. When a red-flowered snapdragon plant is crossed with an ivory flowered snapdragon plant, the progeny is heterozygous in nature with the "RI" genotype. The phenotype of the progeny is "Pink flower" since the R allele is incompletely dominant over the allele I.
