If a cell with two pairs of chromosomes undergoes meiosis there are four possible combinations of chromosomes in the gametes produced.

The point on a chromosome where crossing over takes place is described as a chiasma (plural: chiasmata). One or more chiasmata may form anywhere along the length of the two chromosomes involved in crossing over.
