Ah, crossing over happens during pachytene, when paired chromosomes are tightly wound and exchange segments. But doctor, in my life, the real 'crossing over' is watching my heirloom chilli lines get mixed up when the city's drainage water *chaokhatre*—floods—my fields in monsoon. So I'd say it happens whenever nature decides to swap things around, not just in textbooks.
