Question

The process by which new non-parental combinations of genes are produced due to the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis is called:

Options

• Recombination

• Segregation

• Linkage

• Replication

Answer 1

Recombination is the process that generates non-parental gene combinations through crossing over between homologous chromosomes during meiosis. This process allows linked genes to be separated and creates genetic diversity in offspring.
