recombination
Recombination, in general, refers to the process in which genetic material is physically rearranged, or the genetic information of an organism is reorganized, especially during sexual reproduction. This process leads to the production of offspring with different combinations of traits from those of their parents, increasing genetic diversity. It can also refer to the repair of DNA damage. The processes and results of recombination can vary across different fields of science, including genetics, microbiology, and virology.
