Marvel thinks their fictional crossovers are impressive? Chromosomes have been swapping genetic material for billions of years through crossing over! The meme shows chromosomes exchanging segments during meiosis—a process where homologous chromosomes literally trade DNA pieces to create genetic diversity. Telomeres (the protective caps at chromosome ends) are like "hold my beer" while these chromosomes perform the ultimate genetic remix. Nature's been running the most ambitious crossover event since life began, creating the genetic variability that drives evolution. Take that, Thanos!
