  2. Chromosomal crossover - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosomal_crossover

    The linked frequency of crossing over between two gene loci is the crossing-over value. For fixed set of genetic and environmental conditions, recombination in a particular region of a linkage structure ( chromosome ) tends to be constant and the same is then true for the crossing-over value which is used in the production of genetic maps .

  3. Crossover (evolutionary algorithm) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossover_(evolutionary...

    Crossover in evolutionary algorithms and evolutionary computation, also called recombination, is a genetic operator used to combine the genetic information of two parents to generate new offspring. It is one way to stochastically generate new solutions from an existing population, and is analogous to the crossover that happens during sexual ...

  4. Chromosome segregation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosome_segregation

    Mitosis divides the chromosomes in a cell nucleus.. During mitosis chromosome segregation occurs routinely as a step in cell division (see mitosis diagram). As indicated in the mitosis diagram, mitosis is preceded by a round of DNA replication, so that each chromosome forms two copies called chromatids.

  5. Complete linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_linkage

    In genetics, complete (or absolute) linkage [1] is defined as the state in which two loci are so close together that alleles of these loci are virtually never separated by crossing over. The closer the physical location of two genes on the DNA, the less likely they are to be separated by a crossing-over event.

  6. Mendelian inheritance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendelian_inheritance

    The physical basis of the independent assortment of chromosomes is the random orientation of each bivalent chromosome along the metaphase plate with respect to the other bivalent chromosomes. Along with crossing over, independent assortment increases genetic diversity by producing novel genetic combinations. There are many deviations from the ...

  7. Genetic recombination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_recombination

    It is the frequency of crossing over between two linked gene loci , and depends on the distance between the genetic loci observed. For any fixed set of genetic and environmental conditions, recombination in a particular region of a linkage structure ( chromosome ) tends to be constant, and the same is then true for the crossing-over value which ...

  8. Crossover value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossover_value

    In genetics, the crossover value is the linked frequency of chromosomal crossover between two gene loci ().For a fixed set of genetic and environmental conditions, recombination in a particular region of a linkage structure tends to be constant and the same is then true for the crossover value which is used in the production of genetic maps.

  9. Chiasma (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiasma_(genetics)

    In genetics, a chiasma (pl.: chiasmata) is the point of contact, the physical link, between two (non-sister) chromatids belonging to homologous chromosomes. At a given chiasma, an exchange of genetic material can occur between both chromatids, what is called a chromosomal crossover, but this is much more frequent during meiosis than mitosis. [1]
