Housing Costs. Leeward Community College doesn't offer on campus housing. If you're not living with family you will need to budget for food and housing in the Pearl City area just like you would for a college with dorms. The estimated rent and meal expense per academic year for off campus housing is $13,238.
Chromosomal crossover Homologous recombination is the process by which two chromosomes, paired up during prophase 1 of meiosis, exchange some distal portion of their DNA. Crossover occurs when two chromosomes, normally two homologous instances of the same chromosome, break and then reconnect but to the different end piece. If they break at the same place or locus in the sequence of base pairs, the result is an exchange of genes, called genetic recombination. This outcome is the normal way for crossover to occur.
Crossing Over. During meiosis, when homologous chromosomes are paired together, there are points along the chromosomes that make contact with the other pair. This point of contact is deemed the chiasmata, and can allow the exchange of genetic information between chromosomes. This further increases genetic variation.
