Translocations are movements from one location to another.

In genetics, a translocation is a chromosomal abnormality where a segment of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to another: The test revealed a translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22.

In botany, translocation refers to the transport of nutrients through plant tissues.
