00:01 The answer for this question is homologous chromosomes and homologous chromosomes are having a special characters that they are similar in various characters which are including the size, shape and gene content and homologous chromosomes always come in pairs.
00:29 So, along the pair one will be obtained from the mother and the other one will be obtained from the father of the offspring and especially during the process of meiosis the homologous chromosomes actually pair up with each other and an exchange of the genetic material that is the dna will take place and this process of pairing up and exchanging the genetic material is actually called as the process of crossing over and this crossing over actually plays a very important role.
01:09 It is responsible for the improvement and changes that are happening in the genetic diversity that is passed on from the parents to their offsprings...
