In addition to the repair of DNA double-strand breaks, homologous recombination is a mechanism for generating genetic diversity by swapping segments of parental chromosomes. During which process does swapping occur?

during cell division (meiosis)

Explanation:

During meiosis, DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) between homologous chromosomes are induced and, after the exchange of DNA pieces, breaks are jointed by specific DNA-repair enzymes (such as DNA glycosylases). DSBs can be repaired by two different mechanisms: non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR), which have different functional consequences. These mechanisms of recombination have potential for increasing the genetic variation since the resulting gametes will contain a different set of chromosome fragments.

correct answer: understand the different control methods available

integrated pest management is an strategy that is based on the ecosystem and try to prevent the pest and the damage caused by them by applying combination of technique like habitat manipulation, biological control and use of resistant varieties.

the main aim of the integrated pest management is not to completely eliminate the pest but to strengthen the ecosystem so that conditions are favorable for plants and unfavorable for pests.
