Which of the following process generates a new copy of the transposable element at a new location of DNA?(a) Homologous genetic recombination(b) Site specific recombination(c) Non-homologous recombination(d) Replicative recombinationI have been asked this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.I would like to ask this question from DNA Recombination topic in section DNA, RNA and Protein Metabolism of Biochemistry

Answer»

Right CHOICE is (d) Replicative RECOMBINATION

Explanation: HOMOLOGOUS genetic recombination occurs between DNA molecules of very similar sequences.

Site-specific recombination occurs between particular short sequences present on otherwise dissimilar PARENTAL molecules.

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