Crossing over is the eventual exchange of chromosomal fragments between homologous chromosomes. The phenomenon occurs in prophase I when homologous chromosomes are paired. Crossing over is of great importance for evolution and biodiversity since it provides recombination of alleles (of different genes) linked in the same chromosome during cell divison by meiosis.
What is crossing over? In which period of meiosis does this event occur?
