Translocation in the study of DNA involves the synthesis of proteins from ribosome structures. It starts when the mRNA leaves the nucleus (end of transcirption) and moves to the cytoplasm. From there a tRNA molecule carrying the corresponding amino acid for each codon on the mRNA forms the corresponding chain of proteins. This process continues until all of the codons on the mRNA are read by the tRNA. Each time a protein is bound to the tail end of the mRNA, an amino acid is added to the end of the link. By the end, a long chain of proteins has been constructed, based on the original DNA blueprint for that particular protein to be built.
in shorter terms, a chromosome piece breaks off and reattaches to a non-homologous chromosome

∙ 12y agoTranslocations are the transfer of a piece of one chromosome to a non-homologous chromosome. They are often reciprocal, with the two chromosomes swapping segments with each other. In most cases of chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML), the leukaemic cells share a chromosomal abnormality known as Philadelphia chromosome. This abnormality is the result of a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22. An abnormal hybrid gene is created leading to the production of a novel protein that is not normally found in the cell. This protein prevents normal growth and development, leading to leukaemia.

A mutation in which a single base is added to or deleted from DNA is called what?
translocation .. this is wrong.its a point mutation :)
A mutation caused by a piece of DNA breaking away from its chromosome and becoming attached to a nonhomologous chromosome is called?
This condition is referred to as chromosomal translocation.
Which chromosomal mutation results in Alagille syndrome?
Translocation. On Chromosome 20.
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.
When one base is changed to another at a single position in the DNA sequence of a gene a mutation has occurred?
No that occurs all the time through translocation. It is not a mutation.
Is translocation a type of mutation?
chromosomal mutation

A mutation caused by a piece of DNA breaking away from its chromosome and becoming attached to a nonhomologous chromosome is called?
This condition is referred to as chromosomal translocation.
What chromosomal mutation results in alagille syndrome?
translocation
What Happens during movement of chromosome to a non homologous chromosomes?
chromosomal Translocation
Is down syndrome caused by a translocation mutation?
A very small number.
Which chromosomal mutation results in Alagille syndrome?
Translocation. On Chromosome 20.
What happens during translocation?
When part of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to another.
What is reciprocal mutation?
when there is a two way exchange of genetic portion between two non-homologus chromosomes, its called reciprocal mutation, its a type of translocation mutation
What is caused by chromosomal translocation?
A translocation chromosomal mutation will result when two non-homologous chromosomes each broken by some sort of clastogen and then are swapped.
When a piece of chromosome attaches itself to a nonhomologous chromosome the resulting mutation is called?
translocation
