Detailed explanation-1: -Crossing over occurs between prophase I and metaphase I and is the process where two homologous non-sister chromatids pair up with each other and exchange different segments of genetic material to form two recombinant chromosome sister chromatids.

Detailed explanation-2: -In synapsis, the genes on the chromatids of the homologous chromosomes are aligned precisely with each other (Figure 1). The synaptonemal complex supports the exchange of chromosomal segments between non-sister homologous chromatids, a process called crossing over.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Crossing Over 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-5: -Crossing over is the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes during meiosis, which results in new allelic combinations in the daughter cells.
