    DNA repair, any of several mechanisms by which a cell maintains the integrity of its genetic code. DNA repair ensures the survival of a species by enabling parental DNA to be inherited as faithfully as possible by offspring. It also preserves the health of an individual. Recombination is a process by which pieces of DNA are broken and recombined to produce new combinations of alleles. This recombination process creates genetic diversity at the level of genes that reflects differences in the DNA sequences of different organisms. Recombination repair is a mechanism for generating a functional DNA molecule from two damaged molecules. It is an essential repair process for dividing cells because a replication fork may arrive at a damaged site, such as a thymine dimer, before the excision repair system has eliminated damage.
