Genetic recombination

- Nonparental phenotypes were also produced in the testcross, suggesting that the two traits could be separated sometimes​ - This involves genetic recombination, the production of offspring with combinations of traits differing from either parent​ - A 50% frequency of recombination is observed for any two genes on different chromosomes​ - The genetic findings of Mendel and Morgan relate to the chromosomal basis of recombination​
