Describe the effect of recombination on the inheritance of genes: ________

Solution

Answer:

During the cell division, in meiosis, the recombination of the two homologous chromosomes takes place in Prophase-I, this process of recombination is due to the crossingover (pachytene) of the homologous , which forms synaptonemal complex.

Due to crossingover of the homologous chromosomes, exchanges of the genes takes between paternal chromosomes and maternal chromosomes takes place. Due to exchange of chromosomal segments, the genetic variation is observed and genes can be transmitted from one generation to next generation.
