Chromosomes segregate during Meiosis I and you might expect that all genes on a chromosome would be inherited as a unit. However, during prophase I homologous chromosomes pair up and become attached to one another. At this time, crossing over moves sections of DNA between homologous chromosomes and allows for independent assortment.
