anaphase
Crossover occurs during the prophase I stage of meiosis. This is when homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material, leading to genetic diversity among the resulting gametes.
when two of homologous chromosomes form a tetrad sister chromatids and crossover
The stage when all the cells show crossover chromosomes is the pachytene stage of meiosis. During this stage, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material through a process called recombination or crossing over, which results in the formation of new combinations of genetic information.

Genes that are located far apart on a chromosome are more likely to be separated during crossover. This is because the probability of crossover occurring between two genes increases with the distance between them, as there is a greater chance that a crossover event will occur in that region during meiosis. Therefore, genes that are on opposite ends of a chromosome are the most likely to be separated during crossover.
Double-crossover events are expected to occur less frequently than single crossover events due to the requirement of two distinct breakages and subsequent rejoining of chromatids within a limited region of DNA. The probability of two crossover events happening in close proximity is inherently lower than that of a single crossover, as the single event can occur independently without the constraints of an adjacent second event. Additionally, the physical mechanisms involved in crossing over, such as the formation of chiasmata, further reduce the likelihood of double crossovers occurring within the same segment.
Homologous chromosomes line up in the center of the cell during metaphase I of meiosis. This alignment allows for crossover events to occur between the homologous chromosomes, promoting genetic diversity.

No, crossover events during meiosis only occur between homologous chromosomes, which are pairs of chromosomes with similar genetic information. Each chromosome crossover involves the exchange of genetic material between these homologous chromosomes, contributing to genetic diversity in offspring.
