The breakage and exchange of material between two chromosomes without any gain or loss of genetic material. Such a reciprocal translocation is said to be balanced. Where translocated chromosomes are passed on to offspring in a way which results in gain or loss of material, the translocation is said to be unbalanced.
When a pair of chromosomes exchange exactly the same length and area of DNA. Results in a shuffling of genes.
Reciprocal exchange of segments between non-homologous chromosomes. Note that usually only symmetrical exchanges can be propagated. Asymmetrical exchanges result in dicentric and acentric chromosome products that are lost, leading to aneuploid conceptuses that fail to survive. Reciprocal translocations may involve more than two chromosomes, e.g., 1/2, 2/3, 3/1.
A chromosomal aberration in which homologous chromosomes exchange parts.
a two-break aberration that results in an exact interchange of chromosomal segments between two nonhomologous chromosomes and produces two monocentric translocated chromosomes. [Source: Agricultural Genome Information System, USDA
A translocation in which part of one chromosome is exchanged with a part of a separate nonhomologous chromosome.
An exchange of chromosome material between chromosomes. If this is without loss of any genetic material it is called balanced. Carriers of such a translocation will be normal genetically. However, during Meiosis the pairing of the chromosomes may be faulty leading to 'unbalanced' chromosome products and genetic imbalance in any offspring.
interchange of chromosome segments between two non-homologous chromosomes.
