Best Answer

Nondisjunction is when a Chromosome is unable to separate correctly during cell devision. Translocation (In Chromosomes) is when an abnormality is caused by the rearrangement of parts between non-homologous Chromosomes.

What is transfer of genes between nonhomologous chromosomes?

translocation!


What are structural and numerical mutations?

structural mutation have four types of change in the chromosomal structure: TRANSLOCATION, INVERSION, DELETION AND DUPLICATION.while:numerical mutation results from nondisjunction, or the failure of a pair of homologous choromosomes or a pair of sister chromatids to separate during meiosis or mitosis. The effect of nondisjunction during mitosis is not harmful as the effect of nondisjunction during meiosis.

What are two major causes responsible for Down syndrome?

Down syndrome is the most common genetic cause of ID (intellectual disability). Down syndrome is caused by trisomy for chromosome specifically, duplication of 21q22.95% of cases result from nondisjunction and resultant standard trisomy 21.The remaining 5% are relatively evenly split between robertsonian translocation, of which 14;21 translocation is most common and about half are familial.note :robertsonian translocation is a common form of chromosomal rearrangement that in humans occurs in the five acrocentric chromosome pairs, namely 13, 14, 15, 21, and 22.


Translocation and transpiration?

There is a direct relationship between translocation and transpiration. Translocation refers to movement of sugars which are dissolved in the phloem while transpiration refers to the process through which water is moved from the roots to the stomata through the xylem.


Suppose you're looking through a microscope and you see and exchange of chromosome segments between chromosome pair 7 and chromosome pair 15 This condition is an example of?

It's a translocation, specifically a balanced translocation.


What are the differences between transpiration and translocation?

transpiration is the evaporation of water through leaves and stem. translocation is the transport of sugars in a plant. Translocation- movement of food and nutrients in the plant Transpiration- loss of water through leaves via stomates

The faillure of chromosomes to separate during meiosis is called?

Its called disconjunction. Sometimes it is so bad that they have a miscarriage or the following happens:Trisomy (extra chromosomeso have 47 chromosomes instead of 46)Down's syndrome (andextra number 21 chromosome)Klinefelter's syndrome (males with an extra X chromosome...XXY)
