Genetic Variations Mechanisms A. Recombination 1. Random shuffling of alleles during gamete formation B. Mutation 2. Exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes C. Independent assortment 3. Random changes in DNA sequence D. Crossing over 4. Genetic mixing due to the pairing and exchange of genetic material
Options
- AA-3; B-4; C-1; D-2
- BA-1; B-3; C-4; D-2
- CA-4; B-3; C-2; D-1
- DA-4; B-3; C-1; D-2
Correct answer
D. A-4; B-3; C-1; D-2
Step-by-step solution
Recombination: Genetic mixing due to the pairing and exchange of genetic material. Mutation: Random changes in the DNA sequence. Independent assortment: Random shuffling of alleles during gamete formation. Crossing over: Exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes.
