Question

Which statement best describes the process of crossing over?(1 point)ResponsesHomologous chromosomes pair up, and non-sister chromatids exchange genetic material.Homologous chromosomes pair up, and non-sister chromatids exchange genetic material.Homologous chromosomes are divided in half and distributed randomly into new haploid cells.Homologous chromosomes are divided in half and distributed randomly into new haploid cells.Homologous chromatids pair up, and sister chromosomes exchange genetic material.Homologous chromatids pair up, and sister chromosomes exchange genetic material.Homologous chromatids are divided in half and distributed randomly into new diploid cells.

Answer 1

The statement that best describes the process of crossing over is:

**"Homologous chromosomes pair up, and non-sister chromatids exchange genetic material."**

Crossing over occurs during meiosis when homologous chromosomes line up and exchange segments of their chromatids, resulting in genetic variation.
