What is it called when genetic information is exchanged between homologous chromosomes during prophase 1? A. Meiosis

B. DNA Replication

C. Crossing Over

Explanation:

Recombination is the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. During prophase I, the chromosomes condense and become visible inside the nucleus.

C. Crossing Over

Explanation:

Crossing over, also called recombination, is the process by which non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes exchange a segment of their chromosomal material with one another. The process of crossing over occurs only in the prophase I stage of meiosis.

The process is responsible for genetic variation in the gametes produced, thereby, leading to organisms that are genetically unique.

C. Crossing Over

Explanation:

The crossing over is called when genetic information is exchanged between homologous chromosomes during prophase 1.

c) 50% there are four chromosomes. after crossing over, 2 of the four have been changed. that means any gamete has a 2 in 4 chance or 50% chance of receiving the mutated chromosome.
