Abstract
Genetic recombination is the fundamental biological process of exchange of genetic information between different chromosomes. Its constant activity during evolution has enabled the large number of spontaneously occurring genetic changes that improve the fitness of individuals for their particular environments to accumulate in the most successful members of each biological species. Recombination has provided much of the experimental basis for the science of genetics and has been exploited to great social benefit by plant and animal breeders and to great scientific benefit by classical and molecular geneticists.
