The end of chromosome 14 breaks off and attaches to chromosome 4. Which chromosomal mutation occurred?

A translocation occurs when a chromosome segment breaks off and attaches to a different chromosome. Here, the end of chromosome 14 attaches to chromosome 4, so the mutation is a translocation. An inversion would flip a segment within the same chromosome, while an insertion places extra genetic material into a chromosome.
