The change in chromosomal structure involving the transfer of one section of a chromosome to a non-homologous chromosome is known as a chromosomal translocation. This can result in genes being positioned in a different order or location, which can potentially disrupt gene function or regulation. Translocations are associated with various genetic disorders and can have significant effects on an individual's health and development.
Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)
During meiosis, genetic recombination of homologous chromosomes occurs. So meiosis does result in genetic variation. After prophase I, during which crossing over occurs, every chromosome will have some maternal DNA and some paternal DNA.
It has pairs of matching chromosomes.
Sexual reprodution
It is a form of natural cloning, both cells get identical copies of the chromosome(s).
Mutations result in formation of genetically different cells.

Crossing over is when two homologous chromosomes switch genes. This causes them to become different. Nondisjunction is when there is an incorrect splitting of a chromosome. These two types of variation result in a different set of genes each time an egg and a sperm collide by chance,
The four types of alterations of chromosome structure are deletion, duplication, inversion, and reciprocal translocation. Deletion is the loss of one or more nucleotides from a gene by mutation; the loss of a fragment of a chromosome. Duplication is repition of a part of a chromosome resulting from fusion with a fragment froma homologous chromosome. Duplication can result from an error in meiosis or from mutagenesis. Inversion is a change in a chromosomeresulting from reattachment of a chromosome fragment to the original chromosome, but in a reverse direction. Mutagens and errors during mesosis can cause inversions. Translocation is the attachment of a chromosomal fragment to a nonhomologous chromosome.
Homologous chromosomes (also called homologs or homologues) are chromosome pairs of approximately the same length, centromere position, staining pattern, with genes for the same characteristics at corresponding loci. In meiosis I, the chromosomes are duplicated first then the homologous pairs separate together. Sections of the DNA can sometimes cross over between homologous pairs. Later, during Meiosis II, these pairs are separated into the gametes with only one of each pair. If you said there was only one chromosome, you are thinking of the final result of meiosis.
