Question

Recombinants are resulted from

• A. Replication
• B. Synapsis
• C. Crossing over
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Crossing over

Crossing over is a phenomenon observed during sexual reproduction where the exchange of genetic material occurs between two homologous chromosomes. This results in recombinants.

Replication is a biological process wherein a DNA molecule is replicated into two identical copies.

Synapsis: During the Prophase stage of Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes from each parent pair up with each other. This process is called synapsis. So, the correct answer is option C
