0 words D Question 6 4 pts Which of these is a difference between gene conversion and homologous recombination? ° Gene conversion is nonreciprocal, while homologous recombination is reciprocal. O Heterodupl O Gene conversion requires breakage of DNA, while homologous recombination does not O Holliday junctions form during gene conversion, but not during homologous recombination. exes form in gene coriversion, but not in homologous recombination.

Explanation / Answer

Option a is correct. Gene conversion is a unidirectional process in which sequence is exchanged within the similar sequences keeping one strand as a template to repai the other one. Here crossing over occurs by non reciprocal nature where a donar sequence is inserted into the acceptor one. Homologous recombination is reciprocal type as there is a equal exchange of genetic material. Here, no of alleles remain the same after exchange in both the strands as only the arrangement is altered.
