The process where parts of two homologous chromosomes switch places is called genetic recombination. This process can occur during meiosis when homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange segments of DNA, leading to genetic diversity in offspring.
No, crossover events during meiosis only occur between homologous chromosomes, which are pairs of chromosomes with similar genetic information. Each chromosome crossover involves the exchange of genetic material between these homologous chromosomes, contributing to genetic diversity in offspring.
Tetrads are visible during prophase I of meiosis, which is the stage where homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material through a process called crossing over. Tetrads consist of two homologous chromosomes, each made up of two sister chromatids.

This is called genetic recombination or crossing over. It results in the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis, leading to genetic diversity in offspring.

This process is called crossing over. It involves the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes, leading to genetic diversity in the resulting gametes. Crossing over occurs during prophase I of meiosis.
when there is a two way exchange of genetic portion between two non-homologus chromosomes, its called reciprocal mutation, its a type of translocation mutation

homologous chromosomes
During prophase, a homologous pair of chromosomes consists of two chromosomes, one from each parent, that are similar in genes but may have different alleles. They come together and pair up to form a tetrad, where they can exchange genetic material through a process called crossing over. This exchange of genetic material increases genetic diversity in offspring.
The X and Y chromosomes are called the "Sex Chromosomes". Both the X and Y chromosome are part of the "sex-determining system" that helps determine the sex characteristics in humans. In the system, females have two X chromosomes (XX) while males have an X and a Y chromosome (XY).
