Yes. Crossover only occurs in prophase of meiosis I. Becuase it does not occur in mitosis, all the cells in our body are supposed to have the same genetic information (of course, excluding the cases where somatic mutations occur, such as in cancer).

Crossing over occurs in meiosis I and yes crossing over is unique to meiosis I for the fact that it doesn't occur in mitosis nor meiosis II.

What is the exchange of a corresponding segment between homologous chromosomes?
It would appear you are speaking of crossing over which takes place in Prophase I of meiosis.
What is unique to mitosis and not a part of meiosis?
homologous chromosomes behave independently Pairing of homologous chromosomes allowing independent segregation and crossing over is unique to meiosis. In mitosis, homologous chromosomes behave independently.
When does crossing over occur in meiosis?
Crossing over occurs during Prophase I.
During which process does crossing-over occur?
crossing over occurs in meiosis I, specifically during prophase
Crossing over occurs during which phase of meiosis?
Crossing over occurs during Prophase I of meiosis.
What is it called when genes swap during meiosis?
This is the process of crossing over that happens in prophase I.
