Question

which process of genetic recombination involves genes from both parents?
crossing over
independent assortment
fertilization
tetrad formation

Explanation:

Fertilization is the process where a sperm (from the father) fuses with an egg (from the mother). This combines genetic material from both parents to form a zygote. Crossing - over and independent assortment occur during meiosis and shuffle genetic material within an individual's gametes but don't directly combine genes from both parents in the way fertilization does. Tetrad formation is part of the process of meiosis and is related to homologous chromosome pairing, not directly to combining parental genes.

Answer:

C. fertilization
