Which process results in genetic recombination, but is separate from the process wherein the population size of Paramecium increases?
A)budding
B)meiotic division
C)mitotic division
D)conjugation
E)binary fission

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conjugation is the process in which genetic material is exchanged between two Paramecium individuals, resulting in genetic recombination. However, this process does not involve an increase in population size, as only two individuals are involved in the exchange. The other options - budding, meiotic division, mitotic division, and binary fission - may result in population growth but do not necessarily involve genetic recombination.
