Crossing over isn't neccessarily a named stage but is when alleles "jump" over to other parts of the chromosome resulting in greater genetic variation. That way the population isn't in a word having children with their cousins.

What phase does meiosis crossing over occur?

prophase 1.


What can no occur during pro phase 2 that happens in pro phase 1?

Crossing-over


In which phase will crossing-over occur?

Crossing over occurs during Prophase I of meiosis.


Which phase of meiosis do diversification occur?

Diversification occurs during the crossing over phase of meiosis, which is Prophase I. During this phase, chromosomes exchange genetic material, resulting in the recombination of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. This process increases genetic diversity and contributes to the unique combination of traits in offspring.


What phase does crossing-over occurs?

Diplotene stage of meiosis I phase


Why is crossing-over during meiosis important?

crossing over during meiosis is important in that it allows the occurrence of various genes, this is it promotes the increase of different genes. lets remember that meiosis occurs in sexually producing animals and that the first phase of meiosis is the reduction of the haploid number to the diploid number. this reduces the occurrences of increasing numbers in chromosomes. crossing over takes place during pro-phase


When do stages of meiosis recombination or crossing over occur?

Crossing over occurs during Prophase I.


What phase in meiosis increases genetic variation?

Crossing-over


Which phase of meiosis occurs right after crossing over?

Before crossing over, interphase I takes place. Crossing over occurs during prophase I. Metaphase I occurs after prophase I.


In which process can recombination through independent assortment and crossing over occur?

Recombination through independent assortment and crossing over can occur during the process of meiosis.


Does crossing over occur during mitosis?

No, crossing over does not occur during mitosis. Crossing over is a genetic process that happens during meiosis, specifically during prophase I, where homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material. Mitosis is a different type of cell division that does not involve crossing over.
