Question
Chapter 10, Problem 46RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The definition of homologous recombination.
Concept introduction:
Genetic recombination is a natural process in which genetic information are rearranged to form new associations, which result in new traits in the progeny. The alleles are alternative pairs of the genes present at specific loci. The parent contains certain alleles at the specific loci and these are shuffled in the offsprings.
The process of recombination was first shown by Meselson and Weigle by using two different phages to infect bacteria. Genetic recombination is of two types: homologous recombination and nonhomologous recombination.
