A beneficial dominant mutation is expected to take fewer generations to reach high frequency than a beneficial recessive mutation at the same locus in the same population, assuming neither mutation is lost to genetic drift. True False Which of the following statements is true of recombination? Recombination reshuffles alleles between maternal and paternal chromosomes, but not does produce new alleles. Recombination can produce new alleles by crossing over between maternal and paternal chromosomes. Recombination is more likely between loci that are near each other on a chromosome. Recombination occurring between loci on non-homologous chromosomes results in linkage equilibrium. Recombination occurring between loci on non-homologous chromosomes results in linkage disequilibrium.
