Why is genetic recombination important for species?

a. genetic recombination allows the genetic material of a cell to be copied before cell division, resulting in daughter cells that can undergo genetic recombination.
b. genetic recombination allows the genetic material to be expressed, creating both rna and proteins from a cell's dna.
c. genetic recombination allows new genetic combinations and increases the genetic diversity in a population. this drives natural selection and evolution.
d. genetic recombination allows the best genes to be selected, ensuring that mutated genes aren't passed on to offspring

ANSWER:

The correct option is C- Genetic recombination allows "new genetic combinations' and increases the "genetic diversity in population'. This drives natural selection and evolution.

EXPLANATION:

wild parsnip is a perennial plant which reproduces rapidly in areas which have no sign of agricultural activity such roadside or at no tillage open areas. it's considered invasive because it can inhibit the growth of another plant  and its reproduction is fast. there are several harmful effects of this invasive plant although its taproot is edible since it is a member of the carrot family. wild parsnips can cause skin blistering when in contact because of the chemicals it contains, second it inhibits the growth of other plants, it will restrict the growth of animals when eaten and lastly, it drives away natural pollinators like bees.
