Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Crossing over is the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes, which occurs during meiosis. The likelihood of separation is influenced by the physical distance between the genes on the chromosome. If the genes are far apart from each other, the probability of them being separated is higher during crossing over. If they are close together, they are more likely to be inherited together.
