a 9711010.pdf G bis 2a DNA Content Add-ons Help All changes saved in Drive 16) 12. Bacteria tend to locate their genes in functional clusters operons) where the genes involved in single pathway involving several enzymes will be co-located eukaryotes however, the genes involved biosynthetic pathway are randomly distributed throughout the genome. Why does this discrepancy exist? a The eukaryotic genome is older and the genes have moved apart due to random mutations b DNAis often inherited via vertical as well as horizontal transmission in eukaryotes c DNA is often inherited via horizontal as well as vertical transmission in prokaryotes d Meiotic recombination breaks up gene clusters in eukaryotes but not prokaryotes e Meiotic recombination breaks up gene clusters in prokaryotes, but not eukaryotes

Explanation / Answer

Bacteria tend to locate their genes in functional clusters which is unlike ineukaryoyes. This is due to the meiotic recombination in eukaryotes.

So option d is correct.
