Bacteria tend to locate their genes in functional clusters operons) where the genes involved in single pathway involving several enzymes will be co-located eukaryotes however, the genes involved biosynthetic pathway are randomly distributed throughout the genome. Why does this discrepancy exist? a The eukaryotic genome is older and the genes have moved apart due to random mutations b DNAis often inherited via vertical as well as horizontal transmission in eukaryotes c DNA is often inherited via horizontal as well as vertical transmission in prokaryotes d Meiotic recombination breaks up gene clusters in eukaryotes but not prokaryotes e Meiotic recombination breaks up gene clusters in prokaryotes, but not eukaryotes

Answer 1

Bacteria tend to locate their genes in functional clusters which is unlike ineukaryoyes. This is due to the meiotic recombination in eukaryotes.

So option d is correct.
