If a piece of DNA breaks off a chromosome and attaches itself to a nonhomologous chromosome at another location translocation is the type of change that has occurred. The chromosomal pieces are moved to a new location.

The difference between deletion duplication inversion and translocation?
Deletions are a loss of all or part of a chromosome. Duplications produce extra copies of parts of a chromosome. Inversions reverse the direction of parts of a chromosome. Translocations occur when part of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to another.
What type of tissue attaches one bone to another?
Tendons and/or legaments
What occurs when a segment breaks of chromosome breaks off and reattaches to another chromosome?

What are 2 possible end results of meiosis?
There could be 4 daughter cells with half the chromosomes as the original. Another outcome is crossing over in which one allele from one chromosome changes positions with an allele from another chromosome.
A 0.1 percent frequency of recombination is observed?
In genes located very close to one another on the same chromosome.
What happens during translocation?
When part of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to another.

chromosome translocation got it right from study island if that is what you are using it for. good luck on future questions
A tendon attaches one bone to another?
No, a tendon attaches a muscle to bone. A ligament attaches a bone to another bone.
What are bits of DNA that literally jump from one chromosome to another called?
Transposons are DNA sequences that move from one location on the genome to another
How do you see mutation in a karyotype?
You might see an extra chromosome or a missing chromosome. You might see a piece of a chromosome missing, or a piece added onto another chromosome.

Chromosome
What sex chromosome is present in all humans?
There are two sex chromosomes: the X chromosome and the Y chromosome. During fertilization, the mother always gives an X chromosome and the father gives either another X chromosome or a Y chromosome. Therefore, all humans have at least one X chromosome.
