Medical Definition of Mitotic recombination

1. Somatic crossing over. Crossing over can occur between homologous chromosomes during mitosis, but is very rare because the chromosomes do not normally pair. When it occurs it can lead to new combinations of previously linked genes. Although infrequent, mitotic recombination has been utilised for genetic analysis in Aspergillus and in studies on developmental compartments in Drosophila where the frequency of mitotic recombination can be increased by X irradiation.
