Which process performs genetic recombination?

Genetic Recombination is the exchange of genetic information in order to increase the genetic diversity of the population. Probably only with bacteria.


One advantage of sexual reproduction versus asexual reproduction?

the best answer i can think of is because of genetic diversity. the greater genetic diversity gives rise to more improvements over time.


Other sources of genetic variation in a population are?

Mutations (ubiquitous) and genetic recombination (sexual reproduction only).


What type of genetic recombination in bacteria involves DNA transfer by viruses?

There are many ways that genetic recombination could occur in bacteria. One way that it occurs is because of habitat.


In paramecia and bacteria what is a reproductive process that allows recombination of genetic information?

conjugation


What is the method that most plants reproduce?

Vegetative reproduction is most common in plants, however, sexual reproduction is the essence of evolution as it brings genetic recombination.


Which describes an advantage of sexual reproduction?

Genetic variation


What is conjuguation?

The exchange of genetic material from bacteria to bacteria through sexual reproduction.


What is another way that sexual reproduction results in genetic recombination?

Parent AA and Parent aa have children. All children are Aa Parent Aa and Parent Aa have children. 1AA:2Aa:1aa probability with each child. This is recombination of the most direct/simplest kind.


What is the advantage of meiosis over binary fission?

the benefit of meiosis is that there is genetic recombination hence, helps in variation of characters .that is the reason why children are SIMILAR to their parents but DO NOT look like them completely.


Genetic variability is the main advantage of?

Sexual reproduction


What is the difference between mutation and genetic recombination?

Mutations are random nucleotide alterations such as copying errors or changes induced by external mutagens. In contrast, genetic recombination is performed by the cell during the preparation of gametes (sperm, egg, pollen) which are used for sexual reproduction
