Question 1
The process in which chromosomes exchange material through the breakage and reunion of their DNA molecules is called:
Crossing Over Gene linkage Replication Assortment
Question 2

False True
Question 3
The genes for red hair and freckles both exhibit typical dominant-recessive patterns however these traits tend to be inherited together. This is likely due to:
