Detailed explanation-1: -Crossing over, as related to genetics and genomics, refers to the exchange of DNA between paired homologous chromosomes (one from each parent) that occurs during the development of egg and sperm cells (meiosis).
Detailed explanation-2: -Recombination occurs when two molecules of DNA exchange pieces of their genetic material with each other. One of the most notable examples of recombination takes place during meiosis (specifically, during prophase I), when homologous chromosomes line up in pairs and swap segments of DNA.
Detailed explanation-3: -Crossing over. This is the process of exchange of genes between homologous chromosomes, and it is very important in bringing about variation as it results in the formation of unique gametes.
