Question
what type of mutation is seen below?
Brief Explanations
Chromosomal mutations involve changes in chromosome structure. Translocation is a type of chromosomal mutation where a segment of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to a non - homologous chromosome. In the given diagram, a segment from the green chromosome (longer) has moved to the yellow chromosome (shorter) and vice - versa. This reciprocal exchange of chromosome segments between non - homologous chromosomes is characteristic of translocation.
