What is the level of sequence homology required for site specific recombination?(a) Only homologous chromosomes participate(b) A homologous stretch of 3-5 kb(c) A homologous stretch of 20-200bp(d) No sequence homology necessaryThis question was addressed to me in quiz.The above asked question is from Site-Specific Recombination in portion Genetic Recombination of Cytogenetics

Answer»

The correct option is (C) A HOMOLOGOUS stretch of 20-200bp

Best explanation: SITE specific recombination TAKES PLACE between regions of very short sequence homology about 20-200bp. It can occur between non-homologous chromosomes as well.
