Solution

The statement that best describes a translocation is: "Shifting of a part of a chromosome to another non-homologous chromosome".

Translocation is a chromosomal abnormality where a chromosome breaks and a portion of it reattaches to a different, non-homologous chromosome. Homologous chromosomes are pairs of the same chromosome, while non-homologous chromosomes are different chromosomes. Therefore, the translocation involves the shifting of a part of a chromosome to a different, non-homologous chromosome.
