Question

What do you mean by translocation?​

Answer 1

Chromosomal translocation

Translocation means a change in location. It often refers to genetics, when part of a chromosome is transferred to another chromosome. Chromosomes are structures that carry genes, our units of heredity. When this type of translocation occurs, it can cause flaws in chromosomes.

Answer 2

Answer:

Translocation is the movement of materials from leaves to other tissues throughout the plant. Plants produce carbohydrates (sugars) in their leaves by photosynthesis, but nonphotosynthetic parts of the plant also require carbohydrates and other organic and nonorganic materials.

Explanation:

Translocation in plants occurs by means of the vascular tissue known as phloem. Translocation is necessary because without it, the food prepared by the leaves cannot reach other parts of the plant. In plants, the synthesis of sugars takes place in the leaves by the process of photosynthesis.Transport of soluble product of photosynthesis or food from leaves to other parts of plants is called translocation.Translocation is achieved by utilising energy from the ATP that provides osmotic pressure required for upward and downward movement of food.
