Answer:

A crossover happens in the first stage, or division in meiosis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The crossing over is when the two chromosomes exchange segments with each other. To make sense of it, the parent's two DNA is mixing up to create the baby, so it makes sense to have that the first step, because you would not exist with your parent's DNA.
