Welcome Each of You to My Molecular Biology Class CHAPTER 10 Homologous recombination at the molecular level All DNA is recombinant DNA. Genetic exchange works constantly to blend and rearrange chromosomes, most obviously during meiosis, when homologous chromosomes pair prior to the first nuclear division. During this pairing, genetic exchange between the chromosomes occurs. This exchange, classically termed crossing over, is one of the results of homologous recombination. OUTLINE Models for Homologous Recombination (two models)** Homologous Recombination Protein Machines (RecBCD pathway)** Homologous Recombination in Eukaryotes (meiosis recombination, proteins) Mating-Type Switching (a gene conversion event) Genetic Consequences of the Mechanism of Homologous Recombination (exchange or conversion) * * Molecular Biology of the Gene, 5/E --- Watson et al.
