A translocation in which part of one chromosome is exchanged with a part of a separate non-homologous chromosome. ~ s are the result of moving a section of the genetic material (chromosome) of the cell and attaching it to another chromosome.
Plants actually create these compounds to ensure a healthy, diverse population of bacteria lives near their roots to protect the plants. Decomposers are especially important in retaining nutrients in their cells thus preventing loss of those nutrients from the root zone. This is very important in the nitrogen cycle.
A nutrient is a component in foods that an organism uses to survive and grow. Macronutrients provide the bulk energy an organism's metabolic system needs to function while micronutrients provide the necessary cofactors for metabolism to be carried out. Both types of nutrients can be acquired from the environment. Micronutrients are used to build and repair tissues and to regulate body processes while macronutrients are converted to, and used for, energy. Methods of nutrient intake are different for plants and animals.
