Question: what process plays a part in genetic recombination

title: Genetic recombination
text: Genetic recombination is catalyzed by many different enzymes . Recombinases are key enzymes that catalyse the strand transfer step during recombination . RecA , the chief recombinase found in Escherichia coli , is responsible for the repair of DNA double strand breaks ( DSBs ) . In yeast and other eukaryotic organisms there are two recombinases required for repairing DSBs . The RAD51 protein is required for mitotic and meiotic recombination , whereas the DNA repair protein , DMC1 , is specific to meiotic recombination . In the archaea , the ortholog of the bacterial RecA protein is RadA .
