13) Crossing over is important because it creates ___.
Ainat [17]

Crossing over is important because it creates genetic variability.

<h3>What is crossing over?</h3>

It is the exchange of chromosomal segments between non-homologous chromosomes in a tetrad.

Since chromosomal segments contain genes at different loci, the exchange will increase the genetic variability of the new chromosomes.

Thus, the daughter cells carrying the recombined chromosomes will be genetically variable from not just the parent cell, but fellow daughter cells.
