Mistakes such as nondisjunction can occur during meiosis. This is the result of chromosomes failing to separate equally during either anaphase.
The two factors that introduce genetic variation during the process of meiosis are independent assortment and chromosomal crossover. These occur during prophase 1 and anaphase 1 of meiosis.
Crossing over or chromosomal crossover.
Genetic recombination occurs during meiosis cell division. As genes cross over during this process, scientists track the genes to study their linkage.

prophase I
Genetic linkage is the tendency of genes that are located proximal to each other on a chromosome to be inherited together during meiosis. Genes whose loci are nearer to each other are less likely to be separated onto different chromatids during chromosomal crossover, and are therefore said to be genetically linked.

They are in the same linkage group.

The closer two genes are on a chromosome, the greater the genetic linkage, the farther apart the genes are, the more likely it is that a crossover event will separate them.
The definition of the word 'crossover' is as followed. There are three definitions for this word. The first one is 'a point or place of crossing from one side to the other'. The second one is 'the process of achieving success in a a different field or style, especially in popular music'. The final one is 'relating to or denoting trials of medical treatment in which experimental subjects and control groups are exchanged over a set period' This may also be related to the crossover of genes that occurs during meiosis.
On a cellular level you have random union (of sperm and oocyte), genetic crossover (crossover during meiosis 1), and the independent assortment of homologous chromosomes. On a larger scale you have things such as genetic drift and natural selection that will impact the variation in organisms.
