Homologous recombination, which occurs during meiosis, exchanges DNA between the two chromosomes of each individual before reproduction. As a result, the chromosome passed to the grandchild by each parent is a unique combination of two chromosomes from different individuals. Homologous recombination occurs in other contexts as well. It can be used to repair certain kinds of DNA damage, as information from one chromosome provides the basis for reconstruction of the other. Homologous recombination in meiosis causes large regions of DNA to be exchanged between homologous chromosomes. This is
