The rearrangement of alleles by the process of crossing over

The rearrangement of alleles by the process of crossing over is called genetic linkage.

True or False

Solution

The answer is \"False\"

Crossing over is a physical exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids of two homologus chromosomes. Crossing over is a method of exchange of genetic material during meiosis I following synapsis.

Genetic linage, linked genes sit close together on a chromosome, making them likely to be inherited together.
