In which phase of meiosis would certain gene segments of the homologous pairs of chromosomes cross over and exchange genetic information?

The correct answer would be prophase I.

Crossing over is the event during which genetic material is exchanged between the non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes.

In meiosis-I, this event takes place during the pachytene stage of prophase-I.

The homologous chromosomes aligned them in a synapsis for crossing over to take place.

you did not attach the discourse, but i assume it to be the discourse on the origin and basis of inequality among men (the original titile in french is: "discours sur l'origine et les fondements de l'inégalité parmi les hommes"), also know as "second discourse". in this discourse, jean-jacques rousseau emphasizes that private property is the basis of all inequalities.

therefore, what enabled the old regime to maintain as long as it did was private property.

this is more of a statement than a question. is there answers to go along with this, or is it opinion based?
