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
