My comment:

When a chromosome loses one of its components it is sad to be deleted which deals to chromosomic disorders and diseases, so does a duplication. It is a very interesting topic, you would love to read about it. Check on different abstracts on genetics and you will see how interesting this is. X and Y are the chromosomes because they resemble those letters, sometimes the X has one of the four arms is missing and that is a deletion, or when one of the twenty something chromosomes is missing .Read the article and you will see! see you!

deletion

My comment:

Maria--I can't find "delación" used in a medical sense anywhere, but I think the writer is trying to find a Spanish equivalent for "deletion".

My references:

From Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary: Deletion--the absence of a section of genetic material from a gene or chromosome; or, the mutational process that results in a deletion.
