  2. recombination occurs between two DNA sequences with little or no sequence identity

  3. a symmetrical exchange of genetic material occurs between two DNA strands

  4. specialized nucleotide sequences exhibiting some degree of target site specificity are moved between non-homologous sites within a genome

  5. offspring are produced with combinations of traits that differ from those found in either parent
