What are 4 types of chromosome structural changes?

The four types of alterations of chromosome structure are deletion, duplication, inversion, and reciprocal translocation. Deletion is the loss of one or more nucleotides from a gene by mutation; the loss of a fragment of a chromosome. Duplication is repition of a part of a chromosome resulting from fusion with a fragment froma homologous chromosome. Duplication can result from an error in meiosis or from mutagenesis. Inversion is a change in a chromosomeresulting from reattachment of a chromosome fragment to the original chromosome, but in a reverse direction. Mutagens and errors during mesosis can cause inversions. Translocation is the attachment of a chromosomal fragment to a nonhomologous chromosome.


What is the difference between translocation and nondisjunction?

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.
