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.

Bacteria are the microorganisms that are omnipresent in nature. They can be mostly free-living organisms that can be useful as well as harmful for the  living species. They can occur in a variety of shapes like spiral, coccus, vibrio, etc. Lactobacillus, Acetobacter aceti are the bacteria that are edible in nature.

Pathogenicity is the ability of an organism to infect another living organisms. They spread disease after the infection. This ability is present in a wide variety of organisms, both prokaryotic as well as eukaryotic. Viruses are considered to be the most notorious forms of pathogens.
