Which statement correctly describes the process of crossing over?
A) Pieces of a maternal chromatid break off and swap pieces with its sister chromatid, and then the same occurs between the paternal chromatids. B) Two chromatids (one maternal and one paternal) break off at corresponding points on homologous chromosomes. The pieces of chromatid rejoin to the chromosome in each other's places. C) During replication, a maternal and a paternal chromosome switch places. D) Two alleles exchange positions on a chromosome, creating new recombination frequencies. E) While homologous chromosomes are splitting apart and separating to either end of the new nucleus, two chromosomes switch positions and move toward the ends, opposite from where they were originally headed.
