B) meiotic recombination
C) mitotic recombination
D) translocations

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitotic recombination can lead to the creation of patches of tissue with different genetic traits due to a DNA recombination event during somatic cell division. Linkage refers to the tendency of genetic markers to be inherited together, while meiotic recombination occurs during the formation of gametes and can generate new combinations of alleles on homologous chromosomes. Translocations involve the exchange of genetic material between non-homologous chromosomes.
