Assume that the point mutation and deletion mutation are not in overlapping regions of the phage genome. What phage recombinants would you expect if a crossing-over event occurred between the regions of the two mutations?

Answer:

A recombinant phage containing both mutations.

Explanation:

A recombinant organism is produced by recombination, which is a genetic phenomenon associated with the repair of double-strand breaks in DNA. In genetic research, recombinant organisms are used to investigate target gene expression. The process of DNA repair may be associated with two different pathways: homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ). In this case, the recombinant phage contains no overlapping mutations (i.e., both deletion and point mutations), thereby carrying the desired genetic combination.
