Crossing over occurs between prophase 1 and metaphase 1 and is the process where homologous chromosomes pair up with each other and exchange different segments of their genetic material to form recombinant chromosomes. ... Crossing over is essential for the normal segregation of chromosomes during meiosis.

The maternal and paternal chromosomes get mixed up during the first (reduction) division as the separate from the homologous pairs.
while the chromosomes are separating ,the chromatid material very often gets exchanged between the two members of a homologous pair resulting in genetic recombination.
hope you got it. please mark it as brainliest answer.
