Answer:

Crossing-over

Step-by-step explanation:

Crossing over is an event that occurs during prophase I of meiosis which includes the exchange of genetic material between the members of a pair of chromosomes (between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes). It results in genetic recombination and consequently leads to creation of variation.
