Practice problem
Why is translocation different from crossing over which occurs during meiosis?
Translocation results in movement of DNA from one chromosome to another, crossing over does not.
Crossing over is often harmful to the organism while translocation is not.
Crossing over is caused by mutagens, and translocation is a normal cell process.
Translocation occurs between non-homologous chromosomes while crossing over occurs between homologous chromosomes.
Type a concept, like “slope” or “photosynthesis”.
