Recombination (Anthromorphemics)

A mechanism of meiosis responsible for each gamete's uniqueness. As the chromosomes line up in metaphase, they can combine into several configurations.

Recombination (Anthropology)

A mechanism of meiosis responsible for each gamete's uniqueness. As the chromosomes line up in metaphase, they can combine into several configurations.

Recombination (Atmospheric Chemistry)

In chemical terms, a recombination is one of the ways in which free radicals are lost (the other being disproportionation). In this case, two free radicals join to create one product. This could be from a molecule that broke apart (ionized) and reconstituted, or two free radicals from different sources that form a new molecule.

Refraction- the change in direction of light as it passes between two objects of differing densities; the angle of refraction and the angle of incidenceÝ are related by Snellís Law: n1*sin?1 = n2*sin?2 [International Journal of Solids and Structures; v 42, i 13; Pages 3621-3643; June 2005] [Journal of Applied Geophysics; V 57, I 3; Pages 193-211]

Recombination (Bioinformatics)

A new combination of alleles resulting from the rearrangement occuring by crossing-over or by independent assortment (see crossing over).

Recombination (Electric Power)

The action of a free electron falling back into a hole. Recombination processes are either radiative, where the energy of recombination results in the emission of a photon, or non-radiative, where the energy of recombination is given to a second electron which then relaxes back to its original energy by emitting phonons. Recombination can take place in the bulk of the semiconductor, at the surfaces, in the junction region, at defects, or between interfaces.

Recombination (Evolution)

An event, occurring by the crossing-over of chromosomes during meiosis, in which DNA is exchanged between a pair of chromosomes of a pair. Thus, two genes that were previously unlinked, being on different chromosomes, can become linked because of recombination, and linked genes may become unlinked.

Recombination (Gene Testing)

(See Crossing over.)

Recombination (Genetics)

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

Recombination (Genetics and Genealogy)

The natural process by which progeny derive a random combination of genes and genetic markers from both parents. In humans and many higher organisms this occurs during the creation of sex cells (egg cell and sperm cell) by the process of independent assortment and cross-over. Compare to Recombinant DNA.

Recombination (Genome)

The process by which progeny derive a combination of genes different from that of either parent. In higher organisms, this can occur by crossing over.
See also: crossing over, mutation

Recombination (Horse Health)

Genetic exchange among chromosomes, producing new combinations of genes.

Recombination (Huntingtons Disease)

An event that occurs during meiosis involving the transfer of segments of DNA from one homologous chromosome to the other.

Recombination (Microbiology)

The process by which DNA is exchanged between pairs of equivalent chromosomes (crossing over) during egg and sperm formation. Recombination has the effect of making the chromosomes of the offspring distinct from those of the parents.

Recombination (Solar Energy)

The action of a free electron falling back into a hole. Recombination processes are either radiative, where the energy of recombination results in the emission of a photon, or nonradiative, where the energy of recombination is given to a second electron which then relaxes back to its original energy by emitting phonons. Recombination can take place in the bulk of the semiconductor, at the surfaces, in the junction region, at defects, or between interfaces.
