Answer:

Reciprocal.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the exercise briefly explains, a reciprocal translocation consists in two or more non-homologous chromosomes exchanging parts where no genetic information is gained or lost from the exchange itself. Therefore, two detached fragments of two or more different chromosomes are switched.
