Answer:
Option E, Crossing Over
Explanation:
In the process of crossing over, a chromosome is replicated to produce two sister chromatids. Â
Sister chromatids have genes that are divided and shared with the offspring in equal number. In this way genetic traits are exchanged and the offspring has a new set of genes. Â
This process takes place at the prophase stage of cell division. Â
Without crossing over, gene linkage is incomplete.
Hence , option E is correct
