Explanation: An unbalanced translocation produces a net gain or loss of genetic material (duplications or deletions), leading to extra copies (or missing pieces). A break-and-attach event can be a translocation but is not necessarily unbalanced (it can be balanced). The identical-arm option describes a metacentric chromosome, not translocation.
