Place the following steps of general recombination in chronological order
i. DNA ligase seals the cut ends
ii. A second series of DNA strand cuts occurs opposite the first crossover strands
iii. Two homologous DNA molecules become paired
iv. DNA polymerase fills any gaps and DNA ligase seals the cut strands
v. Two of the DNA strands are cleaved
vi. The two strand segments cross over

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence for general recombination starts with the pairing of two homologous DNA molecules (iii), followed by the cleavage of two DNA strands (v). The segments then cross over (vi), and DNA ligase seals the initial cuts (i). A second series of cuts occurs opposite the first crossover strands (ii), and finally, DNA polymerase fills any gaps, with DNA ligase sealing the cut strands (iv).
