Question
which type of mutation does the model demonstrate?
translocation
insertion
deletion
substitution
A translocation mutation involves the rearrangement of genetic material between non - homologous chromosomes. In this case, the genetic sequence has been moved or "translocated" as there is a change in the position of the genetic segment. Insertion would add new nucleotides, deletion would remove nucleotides, and substitution would replace nucleotides. Since the problem shows a re - arrangement of the genetic sequence (not addition, removal, or single - nucleotide replacement), it is a translocation.
