Which of the following describes the process of recombination?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recombination involves the exchange of genetic material between two chromosomes, often from different pathogens. This can result in portions of chromosomes from different pathogens linking together.

Answer: D
 Recombination can also occur when two chromosomes from different pathogens form a pair, leading to the exchange of genetic material between the two chromosomes. This can result in new combinations of genes in the offspring.

A and C are incorrect because they do not describe the process of recombination. Synthesis of a nearly perfect copy of a molecule describes DNA replication, and a single base in genetic material converting to another describes a mutation.
