When chromosome pairs join together during meiosis (the division process which produces the egg and sperm cells), the two chromosomes may exchange material: part of one chromosome 'crosses over' and exchanges places with the corresponding part on its partner chromosome.
Reciprocal exchange of corresponding segments between homologous chromosomes, resulting in recombination of genetic elements.
exchange of corresponding segments of homologous chromosomes during meiosis, so the resulting gametes will contain chromosomes with information from both parents rather than one or the other.
a process during prophase I in which segments of DNA from one chromatid in the tetrad pass to another chromatid in the tetrad.
the interchange of sections between pairing homologous chromosomes during the prophase of meiosis
(synonym: recombination) The exchange of a segment of DNA between two homologous chromosomes during meiosis leading to a novel combination of genetic material in the gamete Related Terms: cosegregation ; linkage analysis ; marker
The process in which genes are exchanged between two chromosomes.
A phenomenon, also known as recombination, where genetic material is physically exchanged by paired chromosomes mostly during the formation of sperm and egg cells (meiosis).
The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during the first stage of meiosis. It results in genetic variation in populations greater than that which might result from independent assortment alone.
Process whereby two homologous chromosomes break at corresponding sites and rejoin to produce two recombined chromosomes.
The breaking during meiosis of one maternal and one paternal chromosome, the exchange of corresponding sections of DNA, and the rejoining of the chromosomes. This process can result in an exchange of alleles between chromosomes. Compare recombination.
During meiosis, the breaking off of one maternal and one paternal chromosome, an exchange of corresponding segments of DNA, and the reunification of the chromosomes. This process can also result in a trade of alleles between chromosomes.
The interchange of two pieces of homologous chromosomes.
a phenomenon, also known as recombination, that sometimes occurs during the formation of sperm and egg cells (meiosis); a pair of chromosomes (one from the mother and the other from the father) break and trade segments with one another.
During meiosis the breaking of one maternal and one paternal chromosome, resulting in the exchange of corresponding sections of DNA, and the rejoining of the chromosome. This process can result in the exchange of alleles between chromosomes.
Process during the first stage of meiosis when genetic material is exchanged between autosomes.
