the answer is TRANSLOCATION.
translocation
An exchange of chromosome segments is called a translocation. In genetics, it refers to a chromosome abnormality caused by rearrangement of parts between nonhomologous chromosomes.
A translocation event, which involves an exchange of chromosome segments between non-homologous chromosomes (in this case, chromosome 7 and chromosome 15). Translocations can lead to genetic disorders or be inherited as a chromosomal abnormality.
cross over
This process is known as chromosomal crossover or genetic recombination. During meiosis, homologous chromosomes can exchange segments of DNA between each other, resulting in genetic diversity among offspring. This exchange involves the physical swapping of chromosome segments between pair 7 and 15.
DNA or genens these are the segments of the chromosome.
Translocation is when nonhomologous chromosomes exchange segments, like when chromosome 1 exchanges parts with chromosome 5. Inversion is when broken segments of the chromosome is inserted backwards.
a. crossing over b. independent assortment or c. random fertilization
The diagram you’re describing likely illustrates a process called "crossing over," which occurs during meiosis. In this process, homologous chromosomes exchange segments of genetic material, leading to genetic recombination. This exchange increases genetic diversity in gametes, which is essential for evolution and adaptability in populations.
During crossing-over, portions of chromatids exchange genetic material with their homologous chromatids. This results in genetic recombination, where genes are shuffled and new combinations of alleles are created, increasing genetic diversity.
