Do crossovers usually occur during mitosis?

No, crossovers do not occur during mitosis. Crossovers, also known as genetic recombination, happen during meiosis, specifically during prophase I.

When does replication happen during mitosis or meiosis?

Replication occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle before both mitosis and meiosis. In mitosis, the replicated DNA is separated into two identical daughter cells. In meiosis, the replicated DNA is separated into four haploid daughter cells with genetic variation.
