Which of the following statements correctly describes the characteristics of recombinant chromosomes?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recombinant chromosomes are created during crossing over, when homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material. This results in a mixture of genes from both parents on each chromosome, meaning that at least one to three times per chromosome pair, they carry genes from two different parents. Therefore, option C is the correct statement. Options A and D are incorrect because recombinant chromosomes contain genetic material from both parents, not just one. Option B is also incorrect because the number of genes on a recombinant chromosome is not necessarily more than on a non-recombinant chromosome.
