translocation
Translocation is a biological process in which a segment of genetic material (chromosome) is moved from one location to another, either within the same chromosome or to a different chromosome. This can result in various genetic abnormalities, as it can disrupt the normal functioning of genes. In a broader sense, translocation can also refer to the movement of substances, such as nutrients or hormones, within an organism, particularly in plants.
Webster Dictionary
Translocationnoun
removal of things from one place to another; substitution of one thing for another
