The process in which genes exchange equivalent sections of genetic material is known as
A) linkage.
B) crossing over.
C) meiosis.
D) gene expression.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Crossing over is the process during meiosis where homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material, resulting in the formation of recombinant chromosomes with a combination of genetic material from both parents. This process leads to genetic diversity among offspring. Linkage refers to the tendency of genes to be inherited together due to their physical proximity on a chromosome. Meiosis is the process of cell division that results in the formation of gametes. Gene expression refers to the process by which genetic information is used to synthesize proteins or other functional molecules in a cell.
