Term Name: reciprocal meiotic recombination Search Ontology:
Synonyms:
  • female meiotic recombination
  • gene conversion with reciprocal crossover
Definition: The cell cycle process in which double strand breaks are formed and repaired through a single or double Holliday junction intermediate. This results in the equal exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids in a pair of homologous chromosomes. These reciprocal recombinant products ensure the proper segregation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I and create genetic diversity. 2087779
