Ever wonder how often your DNA recombines—or why some DNA matches look weird? In this video, Andy Lee breaks down the science of DNA recombination in plain English (with just enough high school biology to make it click). You’ll learn how meiosis creates the recombined DNA you inherit, why maternal and paternal chromosomes behave differently, and what that means for your DNA match results.

Whether you're building a family tree or diving into visual phasing, understanding recombination is key to decoding DNA inheritance.
