Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Major gene reshuffling, such as crossing over, occurs during prophase I of meiosis. During this phase, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange segments, leading to the production of genetically diverse gametes. Metaphase I, anaphase I, metaphase II, and anaphase II do not involve significant gene reshuffling.
