During the normal production of sperm and egg cells, DNA strands occasionally break and rejoin in different places on the same chromosome or on the other copy of the same chromosome (i.e., the homologous chromosome). This process (called meiotic recombination) can result in the separation of two markers orginally on the same chromosome. 1, record 1, English, - meiotic%20recombination

A genetic linkage map shows the relative locations of specific DNA markers along the chromosome. Any inherited physical or molecular characteristic that differs among individuals and is easily detectable in the laboratory is a potential genetic marker. 1, record 1, English, - meiotic%20recombination

Nos travaux concernent l'étude des sites d'initiation et la caractérisation des lésions initiatrices. Il s'agit de cassures double-brin de l'ADN (CDBs) dont la réparation sur le chromosome homologue conduit à la recombinaison méiotique, qui est une étape nécessaire à la ségrégation réductionnelle des chromosomes homologues lors de la 1ère division de méiose. 1, record 1, French, - recombinaison%20m%C3%A9iotique

In classical descriptions, based on the number of chromosomes distinguishable with the use of a microscope, a first reductional meiotic division and a second equational one are referred to. On the contrary, in more recent and more current descriptions based on the quantitative analysis of DNA the first division is the so called equational division (2N-2N) and the second division is the so called reductional one (2N-N). 1, record 2, English, - equational%20division
