The results obtained in those cases were quite contrary to the principles of independent assortment, but none of the interpretations was good enough to justify [...]
The following points highlight the four theories proposed for the mechanism of crossing over. The theories are: 1. Janssen's Classical Theory 2. Belling's Copy Choice Theory 3. Uhl's Theory 4. Darlington's Theory of Crossing Over. Theory # 1. Janssen's Classical Theory: Janssen (1909) believed that prior to the formation of chiasmata the homologous maternal and paternal chromosomes come in pair [...]
