You work for NASA's Mars Exploration Team. Your team has successfully landed Mars Perseverance rover and have been collecting tons of data. Your team has now been tasked with colonizing the planet as quickly as possible. You and your team are debating whether to send organisms that reproduce asexually, sexually, or both. The location for colonization on Mars has a stable climate with predictable weather patterns. Since you are the head of the team, you have the final decision. What type of reproduction method would you choose? Provide evidence to support your choice. * Your response should answer the following answers: Why did you pick that reproduction method? Why didn't you pick the other reproduction method? What are the possible consequences or drawbacks for picking that form of reproduction? PROVIDE AT LEAST 4 COMPLETE SENTENCES
Genetic Recombination
Recombination is crucial to this process because it allows genes to be reassorted into diverse combinations. Genetic recombination is the process of combining genetic components from two different origins into a single unit. In prokaryotes, genetic recombination takes place by the unilateral transfer of deoxyribonucleic acid. It includes transduction, transformation, and conjugation. The genetic exchange occurring between homologous deoxyribonucleic acid sequences (DNA) from two different sources is termed general recombination. For this to happen, an identical sequence of the two recombining molecules is required. The process of genetic exchange which occurs in eukaryotes during sexual reproduction such as meiosis is an example of this type of genetic recombination.
Microbial Genetics
Genes are the functional units of heredity. They transfer characteristic information from parents to the offspring.
