Assuming you have the whole chromosomes genetic sequences (or long reads spanning the crossover breakpoints) yes, due to crossover with occurs during the making of gametes. So in the son there will be one of the two chromosome N (take N=2 if no crossover occured in chromosome 1..) that will be a mix of the mother's two copies of chromosome N.
On the other hand none of the mother's chromosome N will be a mix of the two copies of the son's chromosome N.
