Answer:

Cross overs can lead to formation of chromosome pairs that have no mutant allele.

Explanation:

Cross overs can lead to formation of chromosome pairs that have no mutant allele.

For example -

Suppose "X" is a mutant  allele and "x" is a mutant free allele.

Now when two homologous chromosomes contains a single mutant allele in different parts of the chromosome are crossed the following offspring are produced

X x

X XX Xx

x Xx xx

"xx" is a mutant free genotype.

Thus, crossing over can create a single mutation-free chromosome

balandron [24]
Lederbergs' experiment of the prevalence of mutations before selective culture was proved by replica plating. They spread bacteria on the plate and allowed them to grow. Next, they stamped the growth on the new plate which was already containing penicillin. The bacteria were able to grow on this plate, even when they never exposed to the antibiotic before. This proved that some of the bacteria were already mutated and were not as a result of exposure to selective culture conditions.
