What happens during the Translocation mutation?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Translocations 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.

Answer 3

In reference to genetics, translocation means moving a part of a chromosome to a different location within that chromosome or to an entirely different chromosome. This can result in an abnormality of the chromosome.

Answer 4

During a translocation mutation, part of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to another chromosome. This can lead to genetic material being exchanged between chromosomes, which can disrupt normal gene function and potentially cause genetic disorders. Translocation mutations can also affect pairing of homologous chromosomes during cell division.

Answer 5

When a gene breaks off from it's sequence and goes to another one or "relocates"

Answer 6

Translocations mutations occur in chromosomes, wherein chromosome segments change positions. It can either take place within a chromosome or between chromosomes.
