Gene Conversion is a rare genetic event where one allele (a variant form of a gene) replaces another allele in the same chromosome. This process occurs without crossing over during meiosis and usually involves homologous recombination between repeated DNA sequences, known as direct or non-reciprocal recombination.
Gene conversion can have significant effects on genetic diversity by allowing a gene to be copied from one allele to another, potentially altering the genetic makeup of an organism.
