Explain why unequal crossing over can occur between different genes with related exons
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: The related exons provide a point of homology for misalignment of homologous chromosomes. Crossing over then generates duplication in one recombinant chromosome and deletion in the other.

Transcomplementation is a name sometimes given for a test to see whether a gene from one organism can "rescue" a loss-of-function mutant of a different organism with a homologous gene. To which of the following processes might this term apply?
