Recombination

Definition of Recombination as it relates to Science, Genetics

Recombination, in the context of genetics and science, refers to the process by which genetic material is exchanged between two homologous chromosomes during meiosis, leading to new combinations of alleles in the resulting gametes. This natural phenomenon plays a crucial role in genetic diversity and evolution, as it allows for the creation of novel gene combinations that can confer selective advantages to organisms. Recombination is also harnessed in scientific research and biotechnology, such as through the generation of recombinant DNA, which involves the insertion of foreign DNA sequences into a host genome, enabling the production of proteins with therapeutic or industrial applications. The study of recombination provides valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying genetic variation and its impact on biological systems, contributing to our understanding of genetics, genomics, and evolution.
