greater genetic variation. (e2020 answer)
There are many ways that genetic recombination could occur in bacteria. One way that it occurs is because of habitat.
conjugation
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.
Sexual reproduction
Genetic recombination refers to the process by which two DNA molecules exchange genetic information. The three types of genetic recombination are crossing over, conservative site-specific recombination and transpositional recombination.
Genetic Recombination is the exchange of genetic information in order to increase the genetic diversity of the population. Probably only with bacteria.
the best answer i can think of is because of genetic diversity. the greater genetic diversity gives rise to more improvements over time.
Mutations (ubiquitous) and genetic recombination (sexual reproduction only).
There are many ways that genetic recombination could occur in bacteria. One way that it occurs is because of habitat.
conjugation
Vegetative reproduction is most common in plants, however, sexual reproduction is the essence of evolution as it brings genetic recombination.
Genetic variation
The exchange of genetic material from bacteria to bacteria through sexual reproduction.
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.
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.
Sexual reproduction
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
