Translocation
A type of mutation in which two nonhomologous chromosomes are each broken and then repaired in such a way that: 1. the resulting chromosomes each contain material from the other chromosome (areciprocal translocation) 2. one of the chromosomes contains an insertion of material from the other chromosome, with the other chromosome containing a deletio [..]

3'
A term that identifies one end of a single-stranded nucleic acid molecule. The 3' end is that end of the molecule which terminates in a 3' phosphate group. The 3' direction is the direction toward the 3' end. Nucleic acid sequences are written with the 5' end to the left and the 3' end to the right, in reference to the [..]
