Is homologous recombination a type of mutation?
No. A mutation can change an allele into any other allele. Homologous recombination can only change an allele to the allele of the homologous chromosome.
Is the only possible source of new genetic material?
mutations recombination/crossing over in mammals
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
Which causes more variation within a population from generation to generation mutation or sexual recombination and Why?
Sexual recombination only takes genes already extant and make new combinations. Mutation presents a brand new variation ( if not neutral or deleterious ) to the eye of natural selection. So, mutation, from generation to generation.
What happens when there is a mutation in a 5' UTR of mRNA?
If there is a mutation in the 5' UTR no change in the protein function and abundance will happen.
Which two processes result in variations that commonly influence the evolution of sexual reproducing species?
mutation and genetic recombination.
What are the two main sources for variation?
Mutation and sexual recombination.
Who gave the term cistron and muton?
Seymour Benzer an american scientist , coined the term cistron(unit of function) recon(unit of recombination) & muton (unit of mutation).
What are the main sources of heritable variation in a population?
mutations, recombination, random pairing of gametes

Is homologous recombination a type of mutation?
No. A mutation can change an allele into any other allele. Homologous recombination can only change an allele to the allele of the homologous chromosome.
Why do plants from seeds not always inherit their parents traits?
Due to recombination and mutation

mutations recombination/crossing over in mammals
What are two main sources for genetic variation in a population?
Mutation and recombination are the two main sources of genetic variation in a population. Mutations are changes in the DNA sequence, while recombination occurs through the mixing of genetic material during the formation of gametes.
What are two sources of genetic variation?
Natural and Artificial Selection
The change that causes the viral strains in influenza to change are called what?
It is usually referred to as a mutation, in the most simple language. It happens in slightly different ways with different virus types with different specific terms assigned to each of those ways. But the most common terms are: mutation, reassortant, evolution, recombination, and reassortment.
What determines wether the mutation is passed on to offspring?
Chromosomal recombination passes the new genetic makeup to offspring
