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

What does the chromosome number do during meiosis?

Why is meiosis important?
