Describe Crossing Over and it's significance.
Crossing over is a genetic process that occurs during the formation of reproductive cells (gametes) in sexually reproducing organisms. It involves the exchange of genetic material between paired chromosomes, specifically between their corresponding segments known as homologous chromosomes. This exchange takes place during a stage called meiosis.
Significance of crossing over lies in the following:
1. Genetic Variation: Crossing over leads to the shuffling and recombination of genetic material...
