Crossing over. Artwork of two chromosomes swapping genetic material prior to meiosis (production of gametes). This is a natural genetic process, known as crossing over, that occurs between homologous chromosomes. The recombination of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) increases the genetic variation in a population

EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating artwork titled "Crossing Over" beautifully captures the intricate process of genetic recombination between chromosomes during meiosis. Set against a striking black background, this computer-generated illustration showcases the delicate exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. As two chromosomes intertwine and swap segments of DNA, the artwork symbolizes the profound impact this natural genetic process has on increasing genetic variation within a population. The combination of different genes through crossing over leads to unique traits and characteristics in individuals. With its meticulous details and vibrant colors, this print serves as a visual representation of biology and medicine's fundamental understanding of genetics. It highlights the significance of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), often referred to as the building blocks of life, in shaping human biology. The artist skillfully portrays how crossing over occurs at a microscopic level but holds immense importance for our health care system and overall well-being. By shedding light on this essential genetic process, "Crossing Over" invites viewers to appreciate the complexity and beauty found within our own cells. This thought-provoking artwork from Science Photo Library is not only visually stunning but also serves as an educational tool that sparks curiosity about genetics and its role in shaping humanity's diversity.
