Descriptor conversión génica
Entry term(s) polaron
recombinación polar
Scope note: Segregación asimétrica de genes durante la replicación que da lugar a la producción de hebras recombinantes o recíprocas y conversión aparente de un alelo en otro. Así pues los productos meióticos de un individuo Aa pueden ser AAAa o aaaA en lugar de AAaa, es decir, el alelo A se ha transformado en el alelo a o viceversa.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D005785
Scope note: The asymmetrical segregation of genes during replication which leads to the production of non-reciprocal recombinant strands and the apparent conversion of one allele into another. Thus, e.g., the meiotic products of an Aa individual may be AAAa or aaaA instead of AAaa, i.e., the A allele has been converted into the a allele or vice versa.
