General recombination is an essential part of meiosis in S.cerevisiae,but it also gives rise to potentially damaging ______ rDNA circles.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

General recombination during meiosis in S.cerevisiae can give rise to extrachromosomal rDNA circles which can cause genomic instability and potentially be damaging to the cell. Plasmids are not typically involved in meiosis in S.cerevisiae, and homologous recombination is a normal and necessary part of the process. Chromosomal recombination can occur, but it would not lead to the formation of extrachromosomal circles.
