During meiosis crossing over takes place between homologous chromosomes. Thus genetic material get interchanged and 50 % new combinations are obtained after each meiotic cell division. Thus, meiosis brings heritable variation in the gametes.

How point mutation frame shift mutation and meiosis contribute to genetic variation?
Nicely. Do your project on your own!
Does asexual reproduction contribute to sexual variation?
No. Asexual reproduction provides no diversity, as it creates an exact copy of the organism. Sexual reproduction, on the other hand, provides diversity by using and combining different genes each time to create an entirely new version of the organism.
What type of reproduction produces genetic variation?
The type of cell division is meiosis
Which description does not apply equally well to both sexual and asexual spores?
The ability to undergo meiosis and produce genetic variation does not apply equally well to both sexual and asexual spores. Sexual spores are formed through meiosis, which shuffles genetic material and leads to genetic variation. Asexual spores, on the other hand, are produced by mitosis and do not contribute to genetic diversity.
What is a source of genetic variation that involves the swapping of sections of chromosomes during meiosis.?

What does meiosis do for species?
Meosis creates gametes (reproductive cells) and allows genetic variation of the species

What specific meiotic events contribute to meiosis leads to significant genetic variation while mitosis does not?
may be its genetical diffence
Why does meiosis exist?
Meiosis exists to ensure genetic variation between offspring. As long as the genes are being passed on, interchanged, and reselected, a species will remain adaptable.
Does amoeba have separate sexes?
No. They are asexual. Which means they separate in order to reproduce by meiosis creating no variation among the species
Does asexual reproduction contribute to sexual variation?
No. Asexual reproduction provides no diversity, as it creates an exact copy of the organism. Sexual reproduction, on the other hand, provides diversity by using and combining different genes each time to create an entirely new version of the organism.
What type of reproduction produces genetic variation?
The type of cell division is meiosis
Why is variation good for a species?
Sometimes positive variation can improve some ability of the species adapted to the environment. For example, a kind of virus can be killed by medicine A. A small part of the virus has some variation that make it can be alive with medicine A. The species of the virus can exist in future, or it will disappear in the future in the environment full of medicine A. Besides, positive variation can provide some capacity for the species to get more resource in the competition. Of course, there is negative variation that might contribute to the disappearance for the species. That is just another side of variation.
Which is responsible for genetic variation mitosis or meiosis?
Meiosis is responsible for genetic variation
What causes genetic variation in a species?
genetic variation happens because of meiosis. chromosomes are randomly in each sperm/egg cell, and so when they come together it's unlikely to get the same combination twice
Which description does not apply equally well to both sexual and asexual spores?
The ability to undergo meiosis and produce genetic variation does not apply equally well to both sexual and asexual spores. Sexual spores are formed through meiosis, which shuffles genetic material and leads to genetic variation. Asexual spores, on the other hand, are produced by mitosis and do not contribute to genetic diversity.
What results in the most diverse offspring?
Sexual reproduction leads to variety in offspring.
