Question

Between which transposable elements has a recombination event occurred?

A. 1 and 2
B. 2 and 3
C. 3 and 4
D. 1 and 3
E. 2 and 4
F. 1 and 4

Answer 1

The recombination event has most likely occurred between genes 1 and 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is F. 1 and 4. According to the information provided, recombination between genes A and B is more frequent than recombination between genes B and C because they are farther apart. Since gene A is closest to gene 4 and gene B is closest to gene 1, a recombination event is most likely to occur between genes 1 and 4.
