Question

An individual that is heterozygous for two linked genes has the genotype a b/a b, which means that the aand b alleles are in one chromosome and the a and b alleles in the homologous chromosome. among the products of meiosis listed below, which are the recombinant types? (select all that apply.)

Answer 1

The recombinat types are AB, and ab.
Genetic recombination involves the production of offspring with combinations of traits that differ from those found in either parent. In our case the parents are Ab and aB, which is not the same as the offsprings (AB,ab). During meiosis in eukaryotes, recombination involves the pairing of the homologous chromosomes a process.
