Answer:

The exchange of chromosome segment between non-homologous chromosomes is called translocation.

It is of two types:

  • Reciprocal translocation

There is an exchange of chromosome segments between two non- homologous chromosomes in reciprocal translocation.

  • Non- reciprocal translocation

A part of chromosome is translocated from one non-homologous chromosomes to other so that one chromosome becomes deficient and another non-homologous chromosome gains the piece of chromosome and becomes long.

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..
