Definitions:

Homologous Chromosomes

Pairs of chromosomes in a diploid organism that are similar in shape, size, and genetic content, one inherited from each parent, containing the same genes but possibly different alleles.

Crossing-over

Crossing-over is a process during meiosis where homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material, resulting in increased genetic variation in gametes.

Fertilization

The process where male and female gametes unite, leading to the development of a new organism.

Independent Alignment

A concept typically used in sequence alignment and bioinformatics, referring to the arrangement of sequences in such a way that they are organized without being influenced by external constraints or sequences.
