yes, that is how you commonly get mutts(in dogs) and other off-breeds these are examples of gene-crossing
It is true that gene maps are produced by monitoring the frequency of the crossing-over between genes. Their changes and adaptations are use in the construction of a gene map.
the frequencies of crossing over between genes
crossing over allows new genes to be made by the crossing over itself or by mutations that occur in the genes as crossing over occurs. since the phenotype is the physical appearance of the gene, the crossing over can change the genotype which can change the phenotype.
Crossing-over
Crossing over.
No, only switches traits inside the crossed over segments
crossing over can unlink genes because when crossing over occurs it a portion of one chromosome is replaced by a region of a homologous chromosome and during this the alleles that were presently on that linked gene could possibly be separated
Crossing over begins early in prophase I of meiosis. At the time, homologous chromosomes Are paired along their lengths. Each gene on one homologue ia alined precisely with the corresponding gene on the other homologue. Source: my science book copy right 2006
The closer together on the chromosome that genes are more likely that they will crossover together.
The result of crossing over is genetic diversity. More specifically, it is a hybrid chromosome with a unique pattern of genetic material. Does this answer help?
it takes place between homologous chromosomes and results in new gene combinations
