Answer:
True.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Recombination of genes on the same chromosome is accomplished by crossing over, a process by which parts of homologous chromosome are interchanged.
- Crossing over is important for evolution because it generates variation in a species.
- Crossing over occurs at pachytene after the synapsis of the homologous chromosomes in prophase I of meiosis.
- Crossing over involves the breakage of each of two homologous chromosome and exchange of parts.
- Since parts of chromosome combine the offspring develops a different genetic makeup from the parents.
- Thus, Crossing over causes a recombination of genes and the eventual offspring to have a different genetic makeup then either parent.
