Homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange segments of DNA.

Option A

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Crossing over is an event of Prophase 1 of meiosis 1. It occurs in the zygotene phase of prophase 1. Here the homologous chromosome pairs get very close together and gets packed within protein coat. The enzymes randomly cut the DNA segments from both chromosomes at same loci and exchange them with each other. This results in the exchange of genes between the two chromosomes. This is how the variation comes to place between offsprings of the same individuals. The crossing over results to form X shaped intersections between homologous pair of chromosomes which is called as chaismata. This phase occurs in pachytene phase and is visible in diplotene phase when the protein coat dissolves.

<h3>What is DNA?</h3>

The DNA is the genetic material that is found in human beings. The DNA of a person contains the information that could be passed on from parents to the offspring and this is  the basis of inheritance.

In studies of disease-discordant monozygotic twin pairs, one searches each pair for epigenetic differences , focusing on those areas of DNA that are thought to be involved in the disorder.
