Hi, could your please answer this question? I'm so confused.
The following diagram (picture added) shows 2 pairs of autosomal chromosomes in a karyotype of a biological woman. Based on the karyotype, a genetic counselor determined that there is evidence that a translocation occurred between two non-homologous chromosomes. The other 21 pairs of chromosomes are NOT shown in this diagram. Assume no chromosomal aberrations occurred in the other chromosomes.
As a student-researcher, what would be your answer if the genetic counselor asks you if you can determine whether the translocation occurred in a somatic cell, germ-line cell, or whether this can even be determined from the figure? provide the reasoning for your answer.
