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.

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.
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 happens after meiosis to introduce even more genetic variation in sexually reproduced organisms?
fusion of gametes via fertilization
Which is responsible for genetic variation mitosis or meiosis?
Meiosis is responsible for genetic variation
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.
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.
Genetic variation in bacterial populations cannot result from?
meiosis, Ap BIO
What phase in meiosis increases genetic variation?
Crossing-over
How does meiosis introduce genetic variation in to offspring?
Meiosis produces gametes which then go on to participate in sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction combines the genetic material of the two parents - therefore creating variation.
How does meiosis introduce genetic variation into offspring?
1 by crossing over in prophase I , 2 by independent assoartment and 3 by mutations in s phase .1 by crossing over in prophase I , 2 by independent assoartment and 3 by mutations in s phase .Meiosis produces variation in gametes by crossing over & independent assortment also called reshuffling of genetic material . Such gametes after fertilization produce offspring with different characters .
