Crossing over or Recombinant is the mutual exchange of segments between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. Bivalent may remain in the pachytene stage for days and dense area of about 100 nm appear here and there on bivalent which is believed to be the sites rich in enzymes required for crossing over. These dense regions are called recombinant nodules. if the separated segments of non-sister chromatids exchange their position, they get united by means of reannealing or R-protein. This type of exchange of segments brings about chromosome recombination. So, take this quiz and check your knowledge about crossing over or recombinant.
