No. A mutation can change an allele into any other allele. Homologous recombination can only change an allele to the allele of the homologous chromosome.

What is the other name of homologous recombination?
It's also called "general recombination".Sometimes homologous recombination is mistakenly called "crossover", but crossover is a result of homologous recombination and not really synonymous.
What Is the failure of a pair of a homologous chromosomes?
mutation
How does homologous recombination differ from crossing over?
There does not seem to be much difference. Recombination introduces genetic diversity. Single Crossing over results in genetic recombination. Double crossovers may or may not result in genetic recombination.
What is the DNA chromosome called that breaks off and reattaches to a homologous chromosome that is paired up in meiosis?
This is a type of mutation called translocation.
Is the only possible source of new genetic material?
mutations recombination/crossing over in mammals

Which two processes result in variations that commonly influence the evolution of sexual reproducing species?
mutation and genetic recombination.
What are the two main sources for variation?
Mutation and sexual recombination.
What Is the failure of a pair of a homologous chromosomes?
mutation
What are two sources of genetic variation?
Natural and Artificial Selection
What is the process whereby genetic material is exchanged between homologous chromosomes during synopsis of the first meiotic division?
Crossing over or homologous recombination
How does homologous recombination differ from crossing over?
There does not seem to be much difference. Recombination introduces genetic diversity. Single Crossing over results in genetic recombination. Double crossovers may or may not result in genetic recombination.
What are the main sources of heritable variation in a population?
mutations, recombination, random pairing of gametes
What is the DNA chromosome called that breaks off and reattaches to a homologous chromosome that is paired up in meiosis?
This is a type of mutation called translocation.
Why do plants from seeds not always inherit their parents traits?
Due to recombination and mutation
Is the only possible source of new genetic material?
mutations recombination/crossing over in mammals
What happens to each pair of duplicated homologous chromosomes during meiosis 1?
pairing of homologous chromosomes and recombination of genetic material takes place
