Question

When does the genetic recombination of DNA as a result of crossing over occur in Meiosis?

Group of answer choices

Telophase II

Anaphase II

Prophase I

Metaphase I

Interphase

Answer 1

Prophase I

Step-by-step explanation:

Genetic recombination that involves crossing over occurs during Prophase I of meiosis in sex cell production. The duplicated pairs of chromosomes (sister chromatids) donated from each parent line up closely together forming what is called a tetrad. A tetrad is composed of four chromatids.
