"It results in the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes."
Explanation: Crossing over happens during prophase I of meiosis between non‑sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes, producing recombinant chromosomes and thus increasing genetic variation. It does not normally occur in mitosis and does not occur between non‑homologous chromosomes.
