1. relating to or being a type of genetic recombination that does not involve crossing over between chromosomes
Usage: genetics

1. a type of genetic recombination that occurs without crossing over between homologous chromosomes
Usage: genetics

Examples

• The researchers studied noncrossover events during meiosis.
• Noncrossover recombination is less common than crossover recombination.
• The gene conversion was identified as a noncrossover type.
• Scientists mapped both crossover and noncrossover recombination sites.
• This noncrossover mechanism helps maintain chromosome integrity.
• The study revealed that noncrossovers occur at specific hotspots.
