traits differing from either parent
What are two types of genetic recombination? - Answer crossing over and independent
assortment
Crossing over is - Answer Process in which homologous chromosomes exchange portions of
their chromatids during meiosis.
Independent assortment - Answer Independent segregation of genes during the formation
of gametes
, Why is a DNA mutation harmful? - Answer A mRNA sequence will always have the mutation.
A mutation on mRNA isn't as bad, as mRNA can be repaired if damaged.
