Crossing over is controlled by recombinase enzymes which split the double helices of the two DNA molecules and the two chromosomes are joined by sticking the homologous DNA strands together.

What is it called when genes swap during meiosis?
This is the process of crossing over that happens in prophase I.
New genetic combinations result from?
crossing over. sexual reproduction. mutations.
What is a process in which homologous chromosomes exchange portions of their chromatids during meiosis?
the process in which homologous chromosomes exchange portions of their chromatids during meiosis is the definition of the term "Crossing Over"
When does crossing over occur in meiosis?
Crossing over occurs during Prophase I.
Why is s.fimicola used as an example of crossing over?
It is used as an example because it is haploid for most of its life cycle. This is incorrect. S. Fimicola is used because it is easy to sustain in a petri dish and it grows extremely fast (in terms of biology). It is also used because it has visible signs of crossing over.
Why enzymes can be used over and over?
Because they are catalyst and are regenerated / recovered.
How can crossing-over between two alleles be used to map their locations on the chromosomes?
The percentage of crossing-over for two traits is proportional to the distance between them on a chromosome. Sturtevant defined one map unit as a frequency of crossing-over of one percent.
What is it called when genes swap during meiosis?
This is the process of crossing over that happens in prophase I.
What is the process in which DNA changes to form new alleles?
Crossing-over
New genetic combinations result from?
crossing over. sexual reproduction. mutations.
What is crossing over and when does it happen?
Crossing over refers to "Crossing over the Jordan River into Canaan Land, the Land promised to Moses and the Israelites after their exodus from Egyptian captivity. In the early 1800's, it began to be used as a euphemism for death, crossing from this world into the next. From earthly existence to the promised destination of heaven.
What do enzymes do that is so great?
Enzymes lower the activation energy of a reaction, acting as a catalyst and speed up the reaction. Plus they never get used up, only over and over again.
What does crossing over mean?
Crossing Over Means Going To Heaven Which means Crossing over from the world to heaven i think that is what it means.
What does crossing over ensure?
Crossing over ensures that there is another side.
How does crossing over incrase phenotypicvariation in a population?
crossing over allows new genes to be made by the crossing over itself or by mutations that occur in the genes as crossing over occurs. since the phenotype is the physical appearance of the gene, the crossing over can change the genotype which can change the phenotype.
What is a process in which homologous chromosomes exchange portions of their chromatids during meiosis?
the process in which homologous chromosomes exchange portions of their chromatids during meiosis is the definition of the term "Crossing Over"
What is a sentence for crossing over?
Crossing over is the exchanging of genes in a homologous pair.
