D

crossing over

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Translocation is the process causing a gene to move from one linkage group to another. It is the separation of a chromosome segment and its union to a non-homologous chromosome. It is of two types-simple and reciprocal In simple translocation one chromosome shows deletion or deficiency while a nonhomologous chromosome comes to have an additional segment. In reciprocal translocation two non - homologous chromosomes exchange segments between themselves to create new linkage groups in both the chromosomes Hence, option (c ) is correct.
