Crossing over takes place between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes at pachytene stage of prophase-I. This stage of prophase- I in meiosis is characterised by the appearance of recombination nodules, the site at which crossing over occurs between non-sister chromatids of the homologous chromosomes.
Crossing over takes place between which chromatids and in which stage of the cell cycle?
