Genetic recombination is the production of offspring with combinations of traits that differ from those found in either parent. In eukaryotes, genetic recombination during meiosis can lead to a novel set of genetic information that can be passed on from the parents to the offspring. Most recombination is naturally occurring. During meiosis in eukaryotes, genetic recombination involves the pairing of homologous chromosomes. This may be followed by information transfer between the chromosomes.
Genetic Recombination. Genetic recombination refers to the process of recombining genes to produce new gene combinations that differ from those of either parent. Genetic recombination produces genetic variation in organisms that reproduce sexually.
