Crossing over helps in production of hybrid chromosomes.
The correct answer is: Recombination
- Recombination involves exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes.
- The hybrid or recombinant chromosomes are different from the parent chromosomes.
- The recombinant gene will have new combination of alleles.
- Recombination introduces variations among individuals in a species.
