MCQ
Recombination of genes occurs at:
  • A
    Prophase of mitosis
  • B
    Prophase I of meiosis
  • C
    Metaphase II of meiosis
  • D
    Prophase II of meiosis

Answer

Explanation:

Recombination occurs when two molecules of DNA exchange pieces of their genetic material with each other, resulting in the production of a new combination of alleles. Genetic recombination occurs in the pachytene stage of prophase I of meiosis during a process called as synapsis.
