What is recombination?
The process by which DNA is replicated
The process by which genetic material is transferred between individuals
The process by which new combinations of alleles are created during meiosis
The process by which a gene is expressed in an organism
The correct answer is c) The process by which new combinations of alleles are created during meiosis. Recombination occurs when homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material, leading to the creation of new combinations of alleles on different chromosomes. This process increases genetic diversity and can contribute to the evolution of populations over time.
Option c is the correct answer.
