Question

Meiotic recombination is shown by
I. Monera
II. Protista
III. Fungi
IV. Plantae
V. Animalia

• A. IV and V
• B. I, II and III
• C. III, IV and V
• D. I, II, III and V
• E. II, III, IV and V

Answer 1

The correct option is E II, III, IV and V

Meiotic recombination refers to a meiotic process that generates a haploid product with a genotype that differs from both haploid genotypes that constituted the meiotic diploid cell. The product of the fusion of meiotically formed haploid cell is called as recombinant. While most recombinations are naturally occurring in eukaryotes( Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia) these can also be artificially induced in a laboratory and these can lead to a novel set of genetic information that can be passed on from the parents to the offspring. Thus, the correct answer is option E.
