Swapping of genetic genetic material is when two chromosomes (maternal and paternal) with the same gene sequence exchange genes, this occurs during Phrophase 1 of meiosis by a process called crossing over. Hope this helps.

The swapping of genetic material between chromosomes during meiosis is known as crossing over.

This results in recombinant chromosomes - ones that are different from those of the parents.

When chromosomes cross over. (Chromal Crossover, I believe)


What will happen to the cell as it undergoes prophase 1?

In prophase I the homologous chromosomes pair and form tetrads, during which crossing over occurs and genetic material is exchanged between the homologous chromosomes. Refer to the related link for an animated illustration.

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.


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.


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.


How are genes aligned on homologous chromosomes?

The genes are aligned between the pole, since it's involving homologous chromosomes, where all characteristics of chromosomes are the same, it kind of makes sense that identical genes would be aligned between the poles.


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.
