Solution
The answer is recombinant chromosome. This term refers to a chromosome that has been altered or created through genetic recombination, which is the process where DNA from two different sources (in this case, two parents) are combined into a single chromosome. This often occurs during meiosis, the process of cell division that creates gametes for sexual reproduction.
