A chromosomal segment that breaks off and attaches to another chromosome is what type of mutation?
a) reciprocal translocation
b) inversion duplication
c) deletion translocation

Respuesta :

When a chromosomal segment that breaks off and attaches to another chromosome it is known as nonreciprocal translocation.

Reciprocal translocation occurs when a portion of one chromosome is exchanged with another chromosome. Deletion translocations occur when during the translocation some part of the genetic material is lost i.e., unbalanced translocation. When there is no loss of genetic material the translocation is said to be balanced.

A nonreciprocal translocation is the type of translocation which is one way, i.e., part of a genetic material breaks off and is attached to another non homologous chromosome and no exchange occurs. Therefore the answer to this question will not be reciprocal translocation since, no exchange occurs.
