Question

ormally, crossing over occurs between homologous regions of homologous chromosomes. Sometimes mistakes happen, and crossing over occurs between nonhomologous regions of homologous chromosomes, resulting in duplications and deletions. What characteristic of a chromosome would make nonhomologous recombination more likely

Answer 1

Answer:

Chromosomes that have little duplicated regions within them or similarities in their sequences

Explanation:

although non-homologous recombination does not requires homologous regions, it  typically utilize short homologous sequences or similarities in their sequences which result in mismatched alignments.
