Chapter 17: Q. 11 (page 442)

Genetic recombination occurs by which process?
a. independent assortment
b. crossing over
c. chromosome segregation
d. sister chromatids

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct answer is (b) 'crossing over'.

Step by step solution

01

Definition

Genetic recombination occurs when segments of DNA from the same chromosome are exchanged, this is referred to as genetic recombination. Recombination occurs during the pachytene stage of meiosis's prophase I. This process is known as crossing over, and it results in the formation of new gene combinations, resulting in genetic variation.

02

Explanation

Option (b) is given as 'crossing over'. Genetic recombination occurs as a result of crossing over, which is the exchange of a DNA segment between homologous chromosomes. As a result, option (b) is correct.

Gene therapy can be used to introduce foreign DNA into cells ________.

a. for molecular cloning

b. by PCR

c. of tissues to cure inheritable disease

d. all of the above

In 2011, the United States Preventative Services Task Force recommended against using the PSA test to screen healthy men for prostate cancer. Their recommendation is based on evidence that screening does not reduce the risk of death from prostate cancer. Prostate cancer often develops very slowly and does not cause problems, while the cancer treatment can have severe side effects. The PCA3 test is more accurate, but screening may still result in men who would not have been harmed by the cancer itself suffering side effects from treatment. What do you think? Should all healthy men be screened for prostate cancer using the PCA3 or PSA test? Should people in general be screened to find out if they have a genetic risk for cancer or other diseases?
