Chromosomal mutation is involving the change in chromosome structure. The changes in structure will change the composition or location allele. Deletion - a segment of chromosome is broken off and lost. Inversion - a segment of chromosome is broken off and reattach itself in inverted position. Duplication - a segment of chromosome is copied twice, resulting in extra allele. Translocation - a segment of chromosome is broken off and reattach at different point.
