Can someone who understands cell biology please help! The phrase "(or change of phase)" seems to be wrong. I've searched wikipedia and google and can find no evidence that "phase" has a meaning equivelent to "crossing over" or "Genetic recombination". I am attempting to fix disambiguation problems for "phase" but it seems the better soultion is to just delete this text. If you understand cell biology and agree with me please delete.

[edit] "Usually"

Just some food for thought... the article starts out by saying "Recombination usually refers to.." and goes on to discuss a biological process. This might be the case for someone coming from a biology background. However, coming from a physics background, recombination usually refers to an electron becoming bonded to an atom. Perhaps it might be worthwhile to make this article more neutral with respect to the different meanings in each subject? Privong 14:25, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I've gone ahead and split it up so that it doesn't favor biology, as that might mislead a reader who's looking for a definition in a different subject. Privong 04:24, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
