During meiosis crossing over occurs between which part of homologous chromosome ?

  • Sister chromatids

  • Non-sister chromatids

  • Genes

  • Alleles


B.

Non-sister chromatids

Crossing over is the exchange of chromosomal segments between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. It occurs in pachytene stage of meiotic division-I.
