It is most widely used by cells to accurately repair harmful breaks that occur on both strands of DNA, known as double-strand breaks. Homologous recombination also produces new combinations of DNA sequences during meiosis, the process by which eukaryotes make gamete cells, like sperm and egg cells in animals.
Homologous recombination is the process of genetic exchange that occurs between any two molecules of DNA that share a region (or regions) of homologous DNA sequences. This form of recombination occurs frequently while sister chromatids are paired during reduction division of meiosis.
