Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitotic recombination is a process that occurs in eukaryotic organisms, which have a nucleus and undergo mitosis. E. coli, being a prokaryote, does not undergo mitosis and therefore does not experience mitotic recombination. Tobacco plants, Homo sapiens, and Drosophila melanogaster are all eukaryotes and can undergo mitotic recombination.
