Question

Identify the process.

  1. Crossing over
  2. Mutation
  3. Segregation
  4. Independent assortment

hintHint:

The process that occurs during pachytene stage of meiosis.

The correct answer is: Crossing over


    • Crossing over is depicted in the image.
    • Crossing over occurs during pachytene stage of prophase 1 of meiosis.
    • During crossing over, the homologous chromosomes will exchange segments with each other resulting in production of recombinant chromosomes.
