Solution

The correct option is B

Fertilization and Meiosis


The correct option is B

Explanation of the correct option:

  1. Genetic recombination is a process of exchange of genetic material between different organisms to produce offspring with new combination of alleles.
  2. Fertilization is a process of fusion of the male gamete with the female gamete to form a zygote.
  3. During meiosis, genetic variations result in genetic recombination. So, both fertilization and meiosis result in genetic recombination.

Final answer: Genetic recombination is due to fertilization and meiosis.
