genetic recombination

The production of progeny that derives some of its genes from one parent and some from another genetically different parent; as a result, the combination of genes in the progeny is different from that of either of the parents. In higher organisms, recombination occurs by way of independent assortment or crossing over; in lower organisms, it occurs by way of transformation, conjugation, or transduction.
