Which chromosomal defect is caused when part of a chromosome breaks off at either end and attaches to another chromosome?
The chromosomal defect you are describing is known as a translocation. In a translocation, a segment of one chromosome breaks off and is reattached to a different chromosome, which can lead to genetic imbalances and various genetic disorders. This type of defect can occur in both somatic cells and germ cells and is often associated with certain cancers and congenital conditions.
