Question
this picture is an example of... a karyotype. nondisjunction. dna synthesis. crossing over.
Crossing over is a genetic process that occurs during meiosis. In this process, homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material. As shown in the image, two chromosomes (represented by red and blue) swap segments. This is a key mechanism for genetic recombination. DNA synthesis is about creating new DNA strands. Nondisjunction is when chromosomes fail to separate properly during cell division. A karyotype is a picture of an individual's chromosomes. Since the image shows the exchange of genetic material between chromosomes, it matches the definition of crossing over.
