Explanation:
Crossing over is a type of recombination that occurs during prophase I of meiosis and results in the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. In a population where crossing over occurs frequently, there would be increased gene pool or genetic drift and variations compared to a population where individual chromosomes do not cross over. The offspring will be genetically unique because of crossing over and independent assortment.
