Why is the frequency of recombinant gametes always half the frequency of crossing over?

Crossing over occurs at the four-strand stage when two homologous chromosomes, each consisting of a pair of sister chromatids, are paired. Each crossover involves just two of the four strands and generates two recombinant strands.

Hope this helps!
