Question

Which of the following is NOT required for homologous recombination?
A) an Hfr chromosome
B) RecA
C) proteins having helicase activity
D) endonuclease

An Hfr chromosome is a type of bacterial chromosome and is not a requirement for homologous recombination. RecA, proteins having helicase activity, and endonuclease are all required for homologous recombination as they facilitate the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes.
