What is
the difference between crossing over and chiasma?? When do they
happen?
Crossing over is the process while chiasma is the point which
crossing over occur. Crossing over and formation of chiasmata
happen during prophase of meiosis I. It is for exchange of genetic
information between non sister chromatids of homologous
chromosomes, leading to genetic variation.
