without chiasma there would be no tension, therefore it is the cause of crossing over. duuuuur.

Are you sure the cDNA experiment is on the edexcel syllabus? We haven't been taught it and are about to sit the exam :/ love Heather, Jess and Alice xxxxxxxxxx 

Yes it is. pg 128 of Salters-Nuttfield Advanced Biology for Edexcel AS Biology.
