Question
- the diagram shows a type of chromosomal mutation. what type of mutation is shown?
Translocation is a type of chromosomal mutation where a segment of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to a non - homologous chromosome. In the diagram, a part of Chromosome A breaks off and attaches to Chromosome B, which is characteristic of translocation. Deletion would involve loss of a segment without re - attachment elsewhere. Insertion is when a new segment is added (but not from another chromosome in this context). Duplication is having an extra copy of a segment on the same or homologous chromosome.
