Movement of materials within plants
Explanation:
Plant
Translocation is a biological process that involves the movement of water and other soluble nutrients through the xylem and phloem from one part of the plant to another part of the plant.
For example transportation of sucrose and amino acid, up and down the plant.
Genetics
When part of a chromosome moves from one place to another, it can be within the same chromosome or to another chromosome. This is called chromosomal translocation.
