Recombinación

The video explains the natural transfer of genetic information between DNA molecules, a process that occurs during meiosis to create genetic diversity. It highlights the significance of this process in genetic modification, allowing the addition of new genes to existing DNA sequences, resulting in recombinant DNA.

What is the initial step in transferring genetic material from one DNA molecule to another?

• Transcription

• Translation

• Replication

• Recombination

During which process does genetic recombination naturally occur to promote genetic diversity?

• Mitosis

• Binary fission

• Meiosis

• Budding

Why is genetic recombination important in meiosis?

• It helps in cell repair

• It prevents mutations

• It ensures identical cell division

• It mixes genetic information to create variations

What is the role of genetic recombination in genetic modification?

• To silence specific genes

• To duplicate existing genes

• To add new genes to existing DNA sequences

• To remove unwanted genes

What is the resulting strand called when new genes are added to existing DNA sequences?

• Hybrid DNA

• Mutant DNA

• Recombinant DNA

• Synthetic DNA
