a normal process that occurs during meiosis (sexual reproduction) when the DNA is replicated (an identical copy of a strand is made) DNA is cleaved and the fragments are rejoined to give new strands This allows genetic information from maternal and paternal chromosomes to be incorporated into a new genome The chances that nucleotides from one strand will cross and be on separate DNA strands increases with increasing distance between them Thus genes that lie close together on the genome are more likely to be inherited together
