Mitosis does its crossing over in prophase
prophase 1.
It would appear you are speaking of crossing over which takes place in Prophase I of meiosis.
Each chromatid can synapse with any one it want/chooses.
DURING PROPHASE I:Crossing over happens in chromosomes where genetic information is swapped from chromosome to another at a chiasma (chiasmata for multiple crossing over sections)Cell is Diploid 46 chromosomesDURING PROPHASE II:No Crossing over at this point, as it has already happened during prophase I.Cell is Haploid 23 chromosomesRead more: What_is_the_difference_between_prophase_I_and_prophase_II_of_meiosis
Crossing over occurs during Prophase I of meiosis.
Mitosis does its crossing over in prophase
Yes, only prophase 1 of meiosis. Crossing over occurs when homologous pairs of chromosomes (tetrads) line up in prophase I. In prophase II there are no tetrads left, only sister chromatids, so there is nothing there to recombine with.
prophase 1.

During the crossing-over of pro phase 1, chromosomes of a homologous pair break and exchange genes.

Yes they are attached at the centromere and remain identicle until crossing over occurs in prophase 1 of meosis
yes crossing-over occurs in meiosis also known as genetic drifting
It is prophase because it is where chiasmata is formed and crossing over between non sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes happen. it is further divided into 1.diplotene2.zygotene3.pachytene4.leptotene and5.diakinesis stages
