What are the similarities between Robertsonian and reciprocal translocation?
Posted February 3, 2024

Answer

Robertsonian and reciprocal translocation are two types of structural chromosome abnormalities. Both occur when a segment of chromosome breaks and the fragmented pieces attach to a new locus on the same chromosome or to an entirely different, non-homologous chromosome, resulting in genetic consequences.
