The right answer is 8,324,608.

Chromosome recombination is most often just before cell division. This phenomenon is responsible for genetic diversity and the evolution of species.

To calculate the number of recombinations between two chromosomes, the formula 2 ^ n (n being the number of chromosomes) is used.

2 ^ 23 = 8,324,608 possibilities of recombination.
