Yes. Crossover only occurs in prophase of meiosis I. Becuase it does not occur in mitosis, all the cells in our body are supposed to have the same genetic information (of course, excluding the cases where somatic mutations occur, such as in cancer).

Is crossing over a process that occurs during mitosis or meiosis?

Crossing over is a process that occurs during meiosis.


What is a process in which homologous chromosomes exchange portions of their chromatids during meiosis?

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.


In which stage of cell division, mitosis or meiosis, does crossing over occur?

Crossing over occurs during the prophase I stage of meiosis.


How does crossing over during meiosis contribute to genetic variation?

Crossing over during meiosis is a process where genetic material is exchanged between homologous chromosomes. This contributes to genetic variation by creating new combinations of genes, leading to offspring with unique traits.


Crossing over occurs during which phase of meiosis?
