Errors in chromosome structure can occur through inversions, where a segment of DNA is flipped and reinserted into the chromosome, leading to altered gene sequences. Translocations happen when a segment of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to a different chromosome, which can disrupt normal gene function. Both of these changes can lead to genetic disorders or contribute to the development of cancer.
