A large-scale rearrangement of a DNA molecule. The process by which progeny derive a combination of genes different from that of either parent.

exchange of segments between chromosomes or other DNA molecules. In eukaryotes, recombination usually involves the reciprocal exchange of chromatid segments during crossing over.

The natural process of breaking and rejoining DNA strands to produce new combinations of genes and, thus, generate genetic variation. Gene crossover during meiosis.

a process by which genetic information is rearranged during meiosis. This process also occurs during the somatic rearrangements of DNA which occur in the formation of genes which encode antibody molecules.

Combination a second or additional time.

Process by which electron-hole pairs are removed

The bonding of ions and free electrons to form neutral atoms and molecules.

The addition of an electron to an ion, usually resulting in radiation (recombination lines) when the electron subsequently jumps down to lower energy states.

State in which the hydrogen and oxygen gases normally formed within the battery cell during charging are recombined to form water.

Recombination of the oxygen and hydrogen produced by gassing inside a VRLA.

State in which the gasses normally formed within the battery cell during its operation, are recombined to form water.
