Answer and Explanation:

The observed aberration can be clarified as pursues: either the two ordinary pair of chromosomes were NPV.TQZ and AB.DGHJ, or NPV.TQZHJ and AB.DG.

In either case, HJ has moved from one of the chromosomes of a couple to a non-homologous chromosome of another pair. Along these lines, this is a case of Non-equal Translocation.
