Genetic recombination quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Genetic recombination card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
During meiosis in eukaryotes, genetic recombination involves the pairing of ______ chromosomes.
Answer
homologous. During meiosis in eukaryotes, genetic recombination involves the pairing of homologous chromosomes. From the Genetic recombination article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
John Peers. John Peers 83 · Genetic recombination 72 · Ara 69 · Front Range 64 ATK in WikiCards.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In eukaryotes, genetic recombination during meiosis can lead to a novel set of genetic information that can be further passed on from parents to offspring.
- Most recombination occurs naturally and can be classified into two types: interchromosomal recombination, occurring through independent assortment of alleles whose loci are on different but homologous chromosomes, & intrachromosomal recombination, occurring through crossing over.
- During meiosis in eukaryotes, genetic recombination involves the pairing of homologous chromosomes.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Genetic recombination article was read about 43,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 58: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
How to get Genetic recombination
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
