Crossing over is the swapping of genetic material that occurs in the sex cell (Sperm and Egg). Crossing over results in a shuffling of genetic material and is an important cause of the (a) seen among offspring.

EXTRA CREDIT: (2 points) What is the connection seen between the amount of individuals who have/carry Sickle Cell Disease and where the Malaria Parasite lives?
Codominance explains the phenomenon where there are (a) visible dominant genetic traits that make up the offspring’s phenotype.
Incomplete Dominance explains the phenomenon where the dominant trait isn’t fully dominant and (a) together with the recessive trait in the offspring’s phenotype.
Why do Incomplete Dominance and Codominance not follow Mendel's Laws for genetics?
