Question

define the following table
(a) mutation
(b) translocation​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mutations. Definition. A Mutation occurs when a DNA gene is damaged or changed in such a way as to alter the genetic message carried by that gene. A Mutagen is an agent of substance that can bring about a permanent alteration to the physical composition of a DNA gene such that the genetic message is changed.

Translocation means a change in location. It often refers to genetics, when part of a chromosome is transferred to another chromosome.

Answer 2

Answer:

• Mutation occurs when the base pair sequence of our DNA changes as a result of numerous environmental influences such as UV light or errors during DNA replication.
• Translocation is the migration of the ribosome from one end of the mRNA to the other over the distance of one triplet codon during translation.

Explanation:

• The term "mutation" refers to a change in DNA sequence. Mutations can occur as a result of UV rays, incorrect DNA copying, or interrupted cell division.
• Translocation is a biological mechanism that happens in all plants and involves the transport of water and other soluble nutrients from one section of the plant to another via the xylem and phloem.
