👉 Xenogenetic refers to a genetic mutation that occurs in a cell or organism due to an exchange of genetic material from one cell to another. This can occur spontaneously, through a process called recombination, or it can be caused by mutations in genes that are inherited from other individuals in the population. Xeno-genetics is a term used in evolutionary biology to describe the phenomenon where a particular trait or characteristic arises due to the exchange of genetic material between different populations or individuals within the same species.
