Crossing over occurs between homologous chromosomes, which are not identical, as one member of each pair of homologous chromosomes comes from the mother, and one member comes from the father. Sister chromatids are identical and crossing over would have no effect.
Nonsister chromatids cross over during prophase I of meiosis, specifically during the substage called the pachytene stage. This crossover process allows for the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes and contributes to genetic diversity in the resulting daughter cells.
Following crossing over, two nonsister chromatids will have exchanged genetic material, resulting in a hybrid chromatid with a combination of DNA from both original chromatids. This exchange of genetic material creates genetic diversity and variation in the resulting daughter cells after cell division.
Crossing over is the process in meiosis where homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material. It occurs during prophase I of meiosis I and helps to increase genetic variation by mixing up the alleles on the chromosomes.
The process is called crossing over or genetic recombination. It results in genetic diversity by shuffling genetic information between homologous chromosomes, leading to unique combinations of genes in the offspring.
During crossing-over, portions of chromatids exchange genetic material with their homologous chromatids. This results in genetic recombination, where genes are shuffled and new combinations of alleles are created, increasing genetic diversity.

During crossing over events in meiosis, homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material in the form of DNA segments. This process increases genetic diversity by creating new combinations of alleles. It occurs during prophase I of meiosis, where nonsister chromatids line up and exchange genetic material at chiasmata.
Each chromatid can synapse with any one it want/chooses.
Crossing over results in nonidentical sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes.
Yes they are attached at the centromere and remain identicle until crossing over occurs in prophase 1 of meosis
Crossing-over occurs between non-sister chromatids, since (prior to crossing-over) sister chromatids are genetically identical (i.e. one is a duplication of the other). Therefore, if sister chromatids underwent a cross-over, no genetic variation would occur.
Crossing over is the exchange of genetic material between chromatids. This is also known as synapsis, and it occurs during prophase one of meiosis.
