Crossing Over and the Chiasma
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Crossing over exchanges segments between nonsister chromatids of paired homologs, visible afterward as an X-shaped structure called a chiasma.
Show
A recombination nodule marks the point where two nonsister chromatids break and rejoin, swapping DNA segments.
Watch for
Crossing over swaps segments between homologs — it does not change gene order along a chromosome.
