Question
Homologous chromosomes may exchange segments; this is called crossing over. Crossing over increases genetic variability.
Where would you add "crossing over" to the Venn diagram?

Crossing over occurs specifically during meiosis, when homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange segments of genetic material. It does not occur during mitosis. Therefore, the best choice for where to add "crossing over" in the Venn diagram is:
**A. Meiosis**
