translocation
|
|
|
transduction
|
|
|
transcription
|
|
|
crossing over

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A translocation occurs when a segment of a chromosome dissociates and reattaches to a different, nonhomologous chromosome. Translocations can be benign or have devastating effects, depending on how the positions of genes are altered with respect to regulatory sequences.
Detailed explanation-2: -3) Crossing over is the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes during meiosis, which results in new allelic combinations in the daughter cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Translocation occurs when DNA is exchanged between two nonhomologous chromosomes.
