Question
Transfer of genes from one chromosome to another and vice versa during synapsis is called(a) Crossing over(b) Exchange(c) Chiasmata(d) Translocation
Step 1
Synapsis is the pairing of two homologous chromosomes that occurs during meiosis. It allows matching-up of homologous pairs prior to their segregation, and possible chromosomal crossover between them. Show more…

Exchange of genetic material between chromatids of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is called (a) Synapsis (b) Chiasmata (c) Transformation (d) Crossing over
Crossing-over a. results in genetic recombination between nonhomologous chromosomes b. results in genetic recombination between sister chromatids. c. occurs only between members of a tetrad. d. occurs between adjacent tetrads.
