Which of the following occurs between particular short sequences present on otherwise dissimilar parental molecules?(a) Homologous genetic recombination(b) Site specific recombination(c) Non-homologous recombination(d) Replicative recombinationI had been asked this question in an internship interview.I would like to ask this question from DNA Recombination topic in portion DNA, RNA and Protein Metabolism of Biochemistry

Answer»

Correct CHOICE is (b) Site specific RECOMBINATION

The EXPLANATION: Homologous genetic recombination occurs between DNA molecules of very similar sequences.

Non-homologous recombination occurs in regions where no large –scale sequence similarity is apparent.

Replicative recombination generates a new COPY of the transposable element at a new location of DNA.
