Answer 1

The best explanation for how new DNA combinations often arise is meiosis and replication errors.

Meiosis is the process of gamete formation, which includes recombination and independent assortment of chromosomes, leading to genetic diversity. Additionally, replication errors during DNA duplication can also introduce mutations, contributing to new combinations of DNA.
