Genetic recombination refers to the process by which two DNA  molecules exchange genetic information. The three types of genetic  recombination are crossing over, conservati â¦ ve site-specific  recombination and transpositional recombination.
This produces a crystal lattice, which is commonly known as 'ice'. Ice floats because it is about 9% less dense than liquid water. In other words, ice takes up about 9% more space than water, so a liter of ice weighs less than a liter water. The heavier water displaces the lighter ice, so ice floats to the top. One consequence of this is that lakes and rivers freeze from top to bottom, allowing fish to survive even when the surface of a lake has frozen over.
Coming to the reason why ice floats in water is due to the anomalous expansion of water. Water has maximum density at the temperature of four degrees centigrade. If the temperature becomes down and reaches zero degrees centigrade then it becomes less dense.
