Question

describe three methods by which parental genes may form recombination

Answer 1

Answer:

However, bacteria have found ways to increase their genetic diversity through three recombination techniques: transduction, transformation and conjugation.

Explanation:

Prokaryotes such as bacteria don’t have much of a sex life. Most prokaryotic species don’t participate in sexual reproduction and have only one copy of each gene on their single lonely chromosome. Sexually reproducing organisms have two sets of chromosomes, one set from each parent, and therefore have two versions of each gene.This arrangement increases genetic diversity. However, bacteria have found ways to increase their genetic diversity through three recombination techniques: transduction, transformation and conjugation.
