Recombination refers to the process of exchanging genetic material between different molecules, sections, or genomes. This can occur during meiosis in sexually reproducing organisms, leading to offspring with genetic combinations that differ from those of their parents. The process is a key driver of genetic diversity in populations, contributing to evolution and the ability of species to adapt to changing environments.
