What is an adaptive advantage of recombination between linked genes? a) recombination is required for independent assortment. b) recombination must occur or genes will not assort independently. c) new allele combinations are acted upon by natural selection. d) the forces on the cell during meiosis ii results in recombination.

The answer is; C

Recombination of genes is important  in the variation of the organisms because it allows for novel allelic combinations during fertilization of gametes. Natural selection works best in a population with high genotypic and phenotypic variations. This increases the chances of survival of the population in case of climate change or calamities that cause a bottleneck effect.
