CROSSING OVER

And recombination
OBJECTIVES:
• Discuss crossing-over and recombination in
meiosis.
• Summarize the process of crossing-over.
• Outline the steps of the crossing over and
recombination in meiosis.
Crossing over

•WHAT? WHO? WHEN? WHERE? WHY?

of crossing over.
what is crossing over?

•the exchange of chromosomal segments between

two non-sister chromatids.
who does crossing over affect?

• Eukaryotes
when does it happen?

• During Prophase I of Meiosis

where does it occur?

• Genetic swapping occurs between paired

homologous chromosomes in our sex
cells- The Egg and the Sperm
why does it occur?

• To provide genetic variation during meiosis

BOTTOM LINE

• ITS WHY YOU AND I DON’T LOOK

ALIKE
• Crossing over ensures a combination of the
maternal and paternal genes we inherited
•As each one has received a special gift,
employ it in serving one another as
good stewards of the manifold grace of
God.
