- cheating during chimeric sorocarp development
Any process during chimeric sorocarp development that increases by which a cell increases the number of spore cells sharing its genotype at the expense of cells of other genotypes.
- chimeric colonial development
Development a structure consisting of multiple co-operating unicellular organisms of the same species, involving cells of more that one genotype.
- obsolete gametophytic self-incompatibility
OBSOLETE. A mechanism that functions to prevent self-fertilization in flowering plants that is determined by the diploid genotype of the parent plant. In sporophytic incompatibility the pollen does not germinate, consequently fertilization does not take place.

- regulation of DNA recombination
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of DNA recombination, a DNA metabolic process in which a new genotype is formed by reassortment of genes resulting in gene combinations different from those that were present in the parents.
- DNA recombination
Any process in which a new genotype is formed by reassortment of genes resulting in gene combinations different from those that were present in the parents. In eukaryotes genetic recombination can occur by chromosome assortment, intrachromosomal recombination, or nonreciprocal interchromosomal recombination. Interchromosomal recombination occurs by crossing over. In bacteria it may occur by genetic transformation, conjugation, transduction, or F-duction.
