Question

Crossing over leads to _____________.

Answer 1

Crossing over

1. The exchange of DNA between paired homologous chromosomes that occurs during the development of egg and sperm cells.
2. During pairing, due to the interchange of chromosomal segment, there will be recombination of genes.
3. This mechanism is called crossing over.
4. Crossing over makes the genetic information in each haploid cell unique and gives the new combinations of genes on each chromosome

Final answer:

Crossing over leads to recombination of genetic material.
