If crossing over didn't happen during meiosis in humans, the haploid daughter cells would all have the same genes. The crossing over creates variation and causes each daughter cell to have slightly different genes.

There would be less genetic variation in humans
There would be less genetic variation in humans
meiosis... for example.. crossing over
Meiosis produce haploid cells.So meiosis is used to produce sperms and ova.
Budding , mitosis and regeneration have no link with genetic variation.All variations in human being and other organisms are produced by MEIOSIS. During meiosis following important processes take place which include 1; crossing over in Prophase I ; Independent assortment of chromosomes and genes during Metaphase I , both of them result in reshufling of genes which is base of variation. Another source of variation is MUTATION.
Meiosis
Meiosis differ among humans and alligators because the number of chromosomes that is given from the parents.
Meiosis is important for the production of gametes (sperm and eggs) in humans.
Meiosis produces daughter cells with half as many chromosomes as the parent cell. This means that because a normal human cell has 46 chromosomes, a gamete (produced through meiosis) will only contain 23 chromosomes.
In humans, 46 chromosomes are present when meiosis begins. The four daughter cells that result from meiosis have 23 chromosomes.
