Solution

The movement of a gene from one linkage group to another is called Translocation.

In genetics, translocation is a phenomenon that results in alteration of the position of a chromosome segment. It means the segment of a chromosome dissociates and moves to a new position on the same or a different chromosome. This can cause a gene to move from one linkage group to another.

Please note that the other options are different genetic phenomena:

  • Crossing over is the exchange of genes between two chromosomes, resulting in non-identical copies of chromosomes, which occurs during sexual reproduction.
  • Duplication is a mutation that increases the copy number of a section of DNA.
  • Inversion is a chromosome rearrangement in which a segment of a chromosome is reversed end to end.
