What is the meaning chiasmata and crossing over?

Crossing over:is a process of (breakage) and (exchange) of parts between two homologous chromatids .Each bivalent (a pair of same chromosomes ) is called a tetrad . Along the length of each bivalent one or more X shaped connections between (non-sister chromatids ) are found ;these CHIASMATA are places where crossing overs have occurred .I hope that's helped .ZIZO-Saudi Arabia

What do homologous chromosomes form in pro-phase 1?

Homologous chromosomes pair up during prophase I of meiosis to form a structure called a bivalent, also known as a tetrad. This pairing allows for genetic recombination to occur between homologous chromosomes.


During prophase of meiosis 1 chromosomes from the organisms father called paternal chromosomes pair up with homologous maternal chromosomes donated by the mother to form a bythis process is called?

The process you are referring to is called synapsis. During synapsis, homologous chromosomes pair up to form a structure called a bivalent or tetrad. This allows for the exchange of genetic material between the maternal and paternal chromosomes, a process known as crossing over.
