The correct selections regarding what happens during crossing over are:

1. **Chiasma formation between non-sister chromatids of homologous and exchange of the genetic material.**
2. **Results in recombinant chromosomes that lead to increased variation.**

Crossing over occurs during prophase I of meiosis, where homologous chromosomes exchange segments of DNA, resulting in new combinations of genes and increased genetic diversity in the resulting gametes.
