Question

Does recombination increase diversity?


Open in App
Solution

Recombination:

Recombination is the process of separating DNA fragments and recombining them to form new allelic combinations.

  1. Higher rates of recombination in a species are associated with higher rates of genetic diversity among individuals of that species, suggesting that recombination appears to increase genetic diversity.
  2. This process generates genetic variety at the gene level, reflecting variances in DNA sequences among species.
  3. Recombination promotes a species' genomic diversity.
