"By recombination, we mean the process by which two molecules or DNA exchange places with each other.
Recombinant DNA is made in prophase 1, by a process known as crossing over where homologous DNA pairs line up and exchange segments with each other in a process known as passing over.

Answer:
A process involving a reduction in the quantity of genetic material is termed as Meiosis, which is a type of cell division. It occurs in two phases, namely – meiosis I and meiosis II.
In the pachytene event of prophase I, chromosomes cross-over wherein the exchange of segments between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes occurs. This leads to the formation of recombinant DNA in the process of meiosis.
