Alleles are recombined when gametes from different parents join together.
Mutations are usually repaired by cellular machinery before genes are expressed.
DNA is replicated when a fertilized egg becomes a growing embryo through mitosis.
Parents that are homozygous dominant for the same trait will have offspring that are also homozygous dominant for that trait

The correct answer is: Alleles are recombined when gametes from different parents join together.
