Unequal recombinations - lead to insertions: Unequal recombination can also lead to insertions (segmental duplications). Genome Evolution: Unequal recombination between sister chromatids at replication. Same process may also happen between parental homologous chromosomes. LESSON 169 Genome Evolution Gene Conversions: Gene conversion = copying of one stretch of DNA into another. Gene conversion is the process by which one DNA sequence replaces a homologous sequence such that the sequences become identical after the conversion event. Gene conversion can be either allelic, meaning that one allele of the same gene replaces another allele,
