The smallest segment of DNA capable of being separated and exchanged between homologous chromosomes is called --​

Answer 1

Answer:

The smallest segment of DNA capable of being separated and exchanged between homologous chromosomes is called recon.

Explanation:

• Chromosome pairs with the same length and centromere locations for the same genes at the same loci make up homologous chromosomes.

• The process of exchanging genetic material in DNA is called recombination.
• Recon is the smallest piece of DNA that may be split off and exchanged with another chromosome.
• The unit of recombination is recon.
• No more than two pairs of nucleotides make up a recon.

So, the smallest segment of DNA capable of being separated and exchanged between homologous chromosomes is called recon.
