Question

The recombinase enzyme participates in which stage during gamete formation?

Answer 1

Gamete formation:

1. Meiosis is the process through which gametes are formed.
2. The reproductive cell (egg/ovum or sperm cells) divides twice during this procedure, resulting in the creation of four gametes.
3. The enzyme recombinase participates and plays an active role in the prophase I stage of meiosis when non-sister chromatid crossing occurs.
4. The recombinase enzyme is involved in crossing over, which is an enzyme-mediated process.
