Crossing over
- Normally, the chromosomes that are present in a body has basic structure of genes and each of the genes are are kept apart by the chromosomes at a certain distance.
- But sometimes when the distance between two genes is slightly more than usual, the genes carried by two different chromosomes can have a process of crossing over take place among them.
- The assortment of two genes in a chromosome takes place independently but when meiosis is taking place the genes are said to be linked with each other.
- So if the genes present in chromosomes are close enough then the percentage of crossing over of those deans becomes less.
