**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Statement:** The statement in question is: "Crossing over is the exchange of genetic material between two non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes." 2. **Defining Key Terms:** - **Crossing Over:** This is a process that occurs during meiosis where genetic material is exchanged between homologous chromosomes. - **Non-Sister Chromatids:** These are chromatids from different homologous chromosomes. For example, one chromatid from the maternal chromosome and one from the paternal chromosome. - **Homologous Chromosomes:** These are pairs of chromosomes (one from each parent) that are similar in shape, size, and genetic content. ...
