Detailed explanation-1: -In general, recombination can occur any time homologous chromosomes pair up, whether they are freely floating in tandem or lined up on the metaphase plate during meiosis.
Detailed explanation-2: -General recombination (also called homologous recombination) allows large sections of the DNA double helix to move from one chromosome to another, and it is responsible for the crossing-over of chromosomes that occurs during meiosis in fungi, animals, and plants.
Detailed explanation-3: -During prophase I, homologous chromosomes pair with each other and exchange genetic material in a process called chromosomal crossover.
Detailed explanation-4: -General recombination occurs through crossing over by pairing between the complementary single strands of DNA duplex (a). Two homologous regions of DNA double helix undergo an exchange reaction.
