Explain the relationship between crossing over and genetic variation. briefly!
Answered by GPT 3.5
Crossing over is a process that occurs during meiosis in which homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material, resulting in genetic variation. This exchange of genetic material leads to new combinations of alleles being formed, increasing genetic diversity among offspring. Therefore, crossing over is directly responsible for generating genetic variation within a population.
