Crossing over is important for the normal segregation of chromosomes during meiosis. [2] Crossing over also accounts for genetic variation, because due to the swapping of genetic material during crossing over, the chromatids held together by the centromere are no longer identical. So, when the chromosomes go on to meiosis II and separate, some ...
This was the first successful gene mapping work and provides important evidence for the chromosome theory of inheritance. The map shows the relative positions of allelic characteristics on the second Drosophila chromosome. The distance between the genes (map units) is equal to the percentage of crossing-over events that occurs between different ...
The NCO/SDSA pathway contributes little to genetic variation, since the arms of the chromosomes flanking the recombination event remain in the parental configuration. Thus, explanations for the adaptive function of meiosis that focus exclusively on crossing-over are inadequate to explain the majority of recombination events.

Crossing over during meiosis, with chiasma shown. In genetics , a chiasma ( pl. : chiasmata ) is the point of contact, the physical link, between two (non-sister) chromatids belonging to homologous chromosomes .
After crossing hills, rivers, and rough terrain, the foal manages to make the delivery not long after the adult horses arrive with the remaining kegs by rolling the missing keg into the bar, as ...
