Crossing Over: Essential For Evolution And Genetic Variation
Genetic variation, recombination, meiosis, and evolution are all closely related to the importance of crossing over. Crossing over is a crucial process that occurs during meiosis, the cell division that produces gametes (eggs and sperm). During crossing over, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material, resulting in the creation of new, recombinant chromosomes. This … Read more
