  1. Genetic recombination - Wikipedia

    In meiosis and mitosis, recombination occurs between similar molecules of DNA (homologous sequences). In meiosis, non-sister homologous chromosomes pair with each other so that …

  2. Recombination | Definition, Types, & Process | Britannica

    Recombination, primary mechanism through which variation is introduced into populations. Recombination takes place during meiosis, with the exchange of genes between paired …

  3. Genetic Recombination - Definition, Types and Examples

    Mar 25, 2019 · Genetic recombination occurs when genetic material is exchanged between two different chromosomes or between different regions within the same chromosome. We can …

  4. 24.3: DNA Recombination - Biology LibreTexts

    The page provides an in-depth exploration of homologous recombination, focusing on its significance in DNA repair, genetic diversity during meiosis, and genomic integrity.

  5. Genetic Recombination | Learn Science at Scitable - Nature

    DNA recombination involves the exchange of genetic material either between multiple chromosomes or between different regions of the same chromosome.

  6. Recombination - Biology Simple

    Jan 30, 2025 · Recombination occurs during cell division, where genetic material is shuffled and exchanged. This process can lead to new genetic combinations, increasing variation within a …

  7. Recombination: Definition, Mechanism and Types | Microbiology

    Thus, recombination is the process of formation of new recombinant chromosome by combining the genetic material from two organisms. The new recombinants show changes in phenotypic …

  8. Genetic Recombination Definition - Understanding the Basics

    Dec 20, 2023 · Learn about genetic recombination, a process that plays a crucial role in the evolution and diversity of organisms, by exchanging genetic material between different …

  9. 9.8.2: Recombination - Biology LibreTexts

    If meiosis results in recombination, the products are said to have a recombinant genotype. On the other hand, if no recombination occurs during meiosis, the products have their original …

  10. Nucleic acid - Recombination, DNA, RNA | Britannica

    Nov 24, 2025 · There are two forms of recombination, general and site-specific. General recombination typically involves cleavage and rejoining at identical or very similar sequences. …
