The Recombination Hypothesis is a concept primarily used in the fields of genetics and evolutionary biology. It refers to the process by which genetic material is shuffled and recombined during sexual reproduction, leading to genetic variation in offspring. In more detail, during meiosis (the type of cell division that produces gametes, or sex cells), homologous chromosomes can exchange segments of DNA through a process called crossing over. This results in new combinations of genes that are different from those present in either parent.
