Genetic Recombination: A Review

Abstract

Genetic recombination alludes to the process of recombining genes to deliver new gene arrangement that contrast from those of either parent. Genetic recombination produces genetic variety in living beings that repeat sexually. Genetic recombination happens as a consequence of the division of genes that happens amid gamete development in meiosis, the irregular joining of these genes at fertilisation, and the exchange of genes that happens between homologous chromosome sets in a procedure known as crossing over. Crossing over permits alleles on DNA molecules to change positions starting with one homologous chromosome fragment then onto the next. Genetic difference amongst individuals is achieved through genetic recombination.
