Genetic Mapping in Eukaryotes — iGenetics: A Molecular Approach▶ 3:42They are new combinations that were not present in the starting individualsAnd the process that makes those new combinations is genetic recombinationSo we're literally looking for new combinations of traits that broke away from that original linked arrangementMicrobial Evolution and Genome Dynamics — Brock Biology of Microorganisms▶ 8:14And there are two main sources of genetic variationMutation and genetic recombinationMutationDNA Metabolism: Replication, Repair, and Recombination Explained — Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry▶ 29:13But DNA isn't always staticIt also undergoes incredible rearrangements, a process called genetic recombinationBarbara McClintock famously discovered jumping genes, transposons, in maize way back in the 1940s, showing us just how dynamic genomes can be
