Recombination

The non-parental arrangement of alleles in progeny that can result from either independent assortment or crossing over. In general, any process in a diploid or partially diploid cell that generates new gene or chromosomal combinations not found in that cell or in its progenitors. At meiosis, the process that generates a haploid product of meiosis whose genotype is different from either of the two haploid genotypes that constituted the original meiotic diploid.

Bias

Any factor that causes distortion of genetic predictions.

Cross-Reactivity

The ability of an antibody to react with or bind an antigen that did not stimulate its production.
