Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The points where chromosomes have physically crossed over are known as chiasmata. This occurs during meiosis and is important for genetic diversity as it causes a recombination of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. Centromeres and kinetochores are structures involved in cell division, while diplonema and pachynema are stages in meiosis.
