It would appear you are speaking of crossing over which takes place in Prophase I of meiosis.

What is homologous chromosomes frequently exchange portions of their DNA called?
It's called crossing over, and it generally only happens between homologous chromosomes.
What is the exchange of DNA between homologous chromosomes during pro phase of meiosis?
Crossing over or chromosomal crossover.
What is the relationships between chromosomes and homologous chromosomes?
Chromosomes refer to structures with DNA and proteins that contain genetic information. The term "homologous chromosomes" is used to specify that the chromosomes contain the same genes, but have the same or different alleles.
Is homologous chromosomes only present in cells that undergo meiosis?
Usually they dont as homologous chromosomes form bivalents with other homologous chromosomes and crossing over occurs between the 2. But if a chiasmata does form between the t homologous chromosomes they can change information.
Which part of chromosome exchange during meiosis centromere or telomere?
During meiosis, chromosome exchange occurs at the chiasmata, which are points of crossing over between non-sister chromatids. The exchange involves the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes, not specifically at the centromere or telomere regions.
What is the exchange of genes between homologous pairs of chromosomes?
homologous chromosomes exchange alleles during crossing over.
Crossing-over is the exchange of reciprocal segments of DNA between homologous chromosomes true or false?
It's true that crossing over is the exchange of reciprocal DNA parts between homologous chromosomes.
What trem describes the exchange of genetic material between members of a homologous pair of chromosomes?
Crossing over during meiosis results in to exchange of genetic material between members of a homologous pair of chromosomes.
The exchange of parts between non homologous chromosomes...?
Crossing Over
What is homologous chromosomes frequently exchange portions of their DNA called?
It's called crossing over, and it generally only happens between homologous chromosomes.
What exchange of genetic material between arms of homologous chromosomes?
When chromosomes cross over. (Chromal Crossover, I believe)
What is the exchange of DNA between homologous chromosomes during pro phase of meiosis?
Crossing over or chromosomal crossover.
Compare the process of crossing-over and independent assortment?
Crossing over is the exchange of DNA between homologous chromosomes where as Independent assortment is the process in which the chromosomes pair align themselves at the equator of the cell.
Difference between sister chromatids and homologous chromosomes?
Homologous chromosomes are individual chromosomes inherited from each parent. Sister chromatids are the result of DNA replication, and the are identical.
Explain the exchange of chromosome segments between chromatids of homologous or non-homologous chromosomes?
a. crossing over b. independent assortment or c. random fertilization
What is the relationships between chromosomes and homologous chromosomes?
Chromosomes refer to structures with DNA and proteins that contain genetic information. The term "homologous chromosomes" is used to specify that the chromosomes contain the same genes, but have the same or different alleles.
Does crossing over produces chromosomes that carry genetic information from both homologous chromosomes?
The question is not proper. Please define more. I assume you meant whether the genetic information is transferred between homologous chromosomes. Yeah it does. When the two homologous chromosomes pair up to form bivalents, crossing over occurs between them.
