or
Recombination is involved in the process of

A

Synapsis

B

Chiasmata

C

Transformation

D

Crossing over

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
(d) Crossing over is a process by which chromatids of homologous exchange portions of genetic material, usually during tetrad formation of meiosis. Crossing over occurs at pachytene sub stage of prophase I of meiosis but visible at diplotene substage of prophase I.
