Answer:

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.
