Question

what is translocation ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

• Transport of soluble product of photosynthesis or food from leaves to other parts of plants is called translocation.
• For translocation, food molecules enter the part of the phloem called the sieve tubes where they can be transported upwards or downwards to all the parts of the plant including roots.
• Translocation is achieved by utilising energy from the ATP that provides osmotic pressure required for upward and downward movement of food.

Answer 2

Answer:

Translocation is a type of chromosomal abnormality in which a chromosome breaks and a portion of it reattaches to a different chromosome. Chromosomal translocations can be detected by analyzing karyotypes of the affected cells.
