The pairing of homologous chromosomes during prophase 1 lets the crossing over to occur and crossing over between non-sister chromatids, in turn, lets the recombination to occur. Crossing over occurs at points called chiasma, which are created between non-sister chromatids. Chiasma lets the exchange of DNA segments between non-sister chromatids. This exchange of DNA segments produces new combinations of alleles among the offspring, which is identified as genetic recombination.

The one major downside is that Alaska doesnât let you mix airlines on an award ticket, with the exception of Air France and KLM (theyâre considered the same airline for the purposes of redemption). You can include Alaska on an award ticket with any partner airline, though, to get you to the international gateway city. Keep in mind that Alaska now allows one-way awards on all partner carriers, so at least you can fly one airline on the outbound, and then on a separate award fly another airline on the return.
