Mitosis is the part of the non sexual cells. These cells do not help reproduce anything with variation. When these cells replicate the replicate in the exact same way, remaining unchanged. this is the reason mitosis limits genetic variation.

Differences between mitosis and meiosis?
place of occurence ;mitosis= somatic cells | meiosis=gonadic cells crossing over;mitosis=does not occur | meiosis=occur during prophase of meiosis 1 to form tetrads number of daughter cell;mitosis=two | meiosis= four genetic variation;mitosis=no variation produced| meiosis=produces genetic variation genetic composition in daughter cell; mitosis=identical to the parent cell | meiosis= non identical to the parent cell and each other
What does meiosis introduce into the daughter cells that Mitosis does not?
variationvarietyMeiosis introduces genetic variation. Mitosis produces daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell. However, meiosis produces offspring with half the genetic material from each parent - and therefore much more diversity.
When does meiosis play a more significant role than mitosis?
Meiosis is the reproduction of the gametes or sex cells. So I'd go with meiosis.
Why is crossing over so important?
It increases genetic variation in organisms
Why genetic variation is a benefit to a population?
Genetic variation allows a population to adapt to a changing environment.
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.

What factors contributes to genetic variation between humans?
the genes that code for RNA and proteins...............
What specific meiotic events contribute to meiosis leads to significant genetic variation while mitosis does not?
may be its genetical diffence
What is One consequence of genetic drift is?
Loss of genetic variation(:Novanet:)
What does meiosis introduce into the daughter cells that Mitosis does not?
variationvarietyMeiosis introduces genetic variation. Mitosis produces daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell. However, meiosis produces offspring with half the genetic material from each parent - and therefore much more diversity.
Which cell division mitosis or meiosis has genetic variation and are not just identical cells?
Meiosis. Genetic variation is achieved by the random division of the chromosomes between the two daughter cells, and further recombination of specific genes between paired chromosomes before the division.
Where do you expect genetic differences between cells to arise from mitosis or from meiosis?
That is a good question. In mitosis, you don't get regular genetic variation but chance mutations can occur. In meiosis with fertilization, you get pairing of DNA from different hosts on a regular basis. I would choose the latter.
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.
Which type of reproduction results in the greatest amount of genetic variation?
That would be sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction allows for independent assortment and crossing over to occur. This is fancy language for the genetic material gets mixed up a lot. Since the genetic material gets mixed up, variation will result.
When does variation occurs?
During mitosis
