Chiasma Formation

Chiasma Formation is the cytological process during meiotic prophase I in which homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material through physical breakage and reunion, manifesting as visible points of crossover that ensure proper chromosome segregation and underlie the genetic principle of crossing over.
