Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Crossing-over involves the physical exchange of corresponding segments between homologous chromosomes during meiosis. This is essential for the creation of genetically diverse gametes. Independent assortment refers to the random separation of chromosomes during meiosis, and fusion of gametes restores the diploid number of chromosomes but is not directly related to crossing-over.
