Question

Gene conversion of Neurospora requires recombination and which of the following events?

a. reversion
b. suppression
c. photoreactivation
d. heteroduplex formation
e. inversion

Answer 1

d

Step-by-step explanation:A heteroduplex is a double-stranded (duplex) molecule of nucleic acid originated through the genetic recombination of single complementary strands derived from different sources, such as from different homologous chromosomes or even from different organisms.

Answer 2

Answer: d. heteroduplex formation

Step-by-step explanation:

A heteroduplex is a double stranded molecule of the nucleic acid that is originated by the recombination of the only single complementary strand that can be derived from different sources, that is from the different homologous chromosomes or can develop from different organisms.

Thus hetroduplex formation is the gene conversion event that requires recombination.
