What is the function of the enzyme 'recombinase' during meiosis?
- A Formation of synaptonemal complex
- B Crossing over between non-sister chromatids
- C Condensation of chromosomes
- D Alignment of bivalent chromosomes on equatorial plate
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Crossing over between non-sister chromatids
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(B) Crossing over between non-sister chromatids,
Crossing over leads to recombination of genetic material between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. The enzyme involved in this process is recombinase.
