Answer:

Crossing over is a process that happens between homologous chromosomes in order to increase genetic diversity.

Step-by-step explanation:

During crossing over, part of one chromosome is exchanged with another. Gametes gain the ability to be genetically different from their neighboring gametes after crossing over occurs.
