Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Robertsonian translocations typically occur between acrocentric chromosomes, which are chromosomes with the centromere located near the end. These include chromosomes 13, 14, 15, 21, and 22 in humans. The translocation involves the fusion of two acrocentric chromosomes, resulting in one larger chromosome and one smaller chromosome.
