Ectopic recombination, the Glossary

Index Ectopic recombination

Ectopic recombination is an atypical form of recombination in which a crossing over takes place between two homologous DNA sequences located at non-allelic chromosomal positions.[1]

Chromosomal crossover

Chromosomal crossover, or crossing over, is the exchange of genetic material during sexual reproduction between two homologous chromosomes' non-sister chromatids that results in recombinant chromosomes. Ectopic recombination and Chromosomal crossover are cellular processes, Modification of genetic information and molecular genetics.

Chromosomal rearrangement

In genetics, a chromosomal rearrangement is a mutation that is a type of chromosome abnormality involving a change in the structure of the native chromosome. Ectopic recombination and chromosomal rearrangement are Modification of genetic information.

See Ectopic recombination and Chromosomal rearrangement

Chromosome

A chromosome is a package of DNA with part or all of the genetic material of an organism.

See Ectopic recombination and Chromosome

Double-strand break repair model

A double-strand break repair model refers to the various models of pathways that cells undertake to repair double strand-breaks (DSB).

See Ectopic recombination and Double-strand break repair model

Genetic recombination

Genetic recombination (also known as genetic reshuffling) is the exchange of genetic material between different organisms which leads to production of offspring with combinations of traits that differ from those found in either parent. Ectopic recombination and genetic recombination are cellular processes, Modification of genetic information and molecular genetics.

See Ectopic recombination and Genetic recombination

Genome

In the fields of molecular biology and genetics, a genome is all the genetic information of an organism.

See Ectopic recombination and Genome

Homologous recombination

Homologous recombination is a type of genetic recombination in which genetic information is exchanged between two similar or identical molecules of double-stranded or single-stranded nucleic acids (usually DNA as in cellular organisms but may be also RNA in viruses). Ectopic recombination and Homologous recombination are Modification of genetic information.

Meiosis

Meiosis ((since it is a reductional division) is a special type of cell division of germ cells in sexually-reproducing organisms that produces the gametes, the sperm or egg cells. It involves two rounds of division that ultimately result in four cells, each with only one copy of each chromosome (haploid). Ectopic recombination and Meiosis are cellular processes and molecular genetics.

See Ectopic recombination and Meiosis

Mitosis

Mitosis is a part of the cell cycle in which replicated chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei.

See Ectopic recombination and Mitosis

Nucleotide

Nucleotides are organic molecules composed of a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar and a phosphate.

See Ectopic recombination and Nucleotide

Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Saccharomyces cerevisiae (brewer's yeast or baker's yeast) is a species of yeast (single-celled fungal microorganisms).

See Ectopic recombination and Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Somatic cell

In cellular biology, a somatic cell, or vegetal cell, is any biological cell forming the body of a multicellular organism other than a gamete, germ cell, gametocyte or undifferentiated stem cell.

See Ectopic recombination and Somatic cell

Tobacco

Tobacco is the common name of several plants in the genus Nicotiana of the family Solanaceae, and the general term for any product prepared from the cured leaves of these plants.

See Ectopic recombination and Tobacco

Transposable element

A transposable element (TE, transposon, or jumping gene) is a nucleic acid sequence in DNA that can change its position within a genome, sometimes creating or reversing mutations and altering the cell's genetic identity and genome size. Ectopic recombination and transposable element are Modification of genetic information.

See Ectopic recombination and Transposable element

Zygosity

Zygosity (the noun, zygote, is from the Greek "yoked," from "yoke") is the degree to which both copies of a chromosome or gene have the same genetic sequence.

See Ectopic recombination and Zygosity
