The Process of _________ is Extremely Important in Generating Genetic

Question

The process of _________ is extremely important in generating genetic diversity.
A) translation
B) transcription
C) recombination
D) transformation
E) None of the choices are correct.

Accepted Answer

Recombination is the process by which DNA strands are broken and recombined with other strands, resulting in genetic diversity. This process can occur through various mechanisms, such as crossing over during meiosis or horizontal gene transfer in bacteria. Translation and transcription involve the conversion of genetic information into proteins, but do not directly contribute to genetic diversity. Transformation involves uptake of foreign DNA by a bacterial cell, which can lead to genetic diversity, but is not as important a mechanism as recombination.
