  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. Chromosome segregation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosome_segregation

    During synapsis, genetic recombination usually occurs. Some of the recombination events occur by crossing over (involving physical exchange between two chromatids), but most recombination events involve information exchange but not physical exchange between two chromatids (see Synthesis-dependent strand annealing (SDSA) ).

  4. 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 ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. 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.

  7. Non-random segregation of chromosomes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-random_segregation_of...

    Non-random segregation of chromosomes is a deviation from the usual distribution of chromosomes during meiosis, that is, during segregation of the genome among gametes.While usually according to the 2nd Mendelian rule (“Law of Segregation of genes“) homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed among daughter nuclei, there are various modes deviating from this in numerous organisms that ...

  8. 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]

  9. Gene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene

    In order to qualify as a true gene, by this definition, one has to prove that the transcript has a biological function. [5] Early speculations on the size of a typical gene were based on high-resolution genetic mapping and on the size of proteins and RNA molecules. A length of 1500 base pairs seemed reasonable at the time (1965). [14]
