Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heteroduplex DNA refers to a DNA molecule where one of the strands is derived from one parent and the other strand is derived from the other parent. It typically arises during recombination when homologous chromosomes swap genetic material. This creates areas of mismatched pairing between the strands, which are referred to as heteroduplex regions.
