Question

an organism that contains patches of tissue that vary for a specific characteristic such as a pigment, can be an example of which of the following? multiple choice linkage meiotic recombination mitotic recombination translocations

Explanation:

Mitotic recombination can lead to patches of tissue with different genotypes and phenotypes for a specific characteristic like pigmentation. Linkage refers to genes being on the same chromosome and not directly related to tissue - patch variation. Meiotic recombination occurs during gamete - formation and not typically responsible for somatic tissue patch differences. Translocations are chromosome rearrangements and not the main cause of such tissue - patch variation for a characteristic.

Answer:

C. Mitotic recombination
