Mitosis produces two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the original parent cell. Therefore there is no variation (except when things like mutations happen).
Meiosis produces haploid daughter cells - this means that they only contain half the number of chromosomes (or genetic material) as the original parent cell. These cells then go on to participate in sexual reproduction and fuse with a different haploid cell. Therefore the resulting organism recieves half the genetic material from each - and is identical to neither.

then look at it... for a 4 sec :D
after smell it nd tell me whats the difference
between poking ur butt and smelling it :P

Does meiosis have variation?
During meiosis, genetic recombination of homologous chromosomes occurs. So meiosis does result in genetic variation. After prophase I, during which crossing over occurs, every chromosome will have some maternal DNA and some paternal DNA.
What is a source of genetic variation that involves the swapping of sections of chromosomes during meiosis.?
What is a source of genetic variation that involves the swapping of sections of chromosomes during meiosis.?
What type of reproduction produces genetic variation?
The type of cell division is meiosis
What phase in meiosis increases genetic variation?
Crossing-over
What does meiosis provides for genetic variation mean?
The genes decide how we look and a lot about how we are. If there wasn't genetic variation we'd all be the same.
Genetic variation in bacterial populations cannot result from?

Meiosis and fertilization are important processes because they may most immediately result in?
genetic variation
Which is responsible for genetic variation mitosis or meiosis?
Meiosis is responsible for genetic variation
Why are mitosis and mitosis similar?
Because they both result in the formantion of gametes; however there is no genetic variation in meiosis.
How does meiosis create variation?
Meiosis creates genetic variation through the production of 4 haploid daughter cells, each with random genetic combinations. Meiosis also creates genetic variation through the process called crossing over, where chromosome segments are exchanged.

How does meiosis aid in evolution?
contributes to genetic variation.

Why meiosis provides genetic variation?
Sexual reproduction (using meiosis) provides genetic variation because the two parent's traits are combined. With asexual reproduction, the parent gene is just duplicated.
