Meiosis allows a cell to form into 4 cells (by meiosis 1 (which is literally mitosis) and meiosis 2 (mitosis without DNA replication))
in meiosis 1, the cells exchanges DNA information between homologous pairs, this allows genes to be transferred and creates 4 unique and distinct cells.
segragation of alleles occur too.
when genes cross over during meiosis, then split they from genes that differ.
Meiosis is when the male gene and the female gene combine chromosomes to make a child or offspring. This increases the diversity of genes in an individual, and allows that diversity to spread through the population, thus effecting evolution.
this is where the genes are mixed up, and it allows genes to be exchanged across chromosomes and randomizes the assortment of chromosomes to the offspring.
Meiosis I and meiosis II
DNA is the molecule that genes are made of. Chromosomes are the (arbitrary) clumping that genes form in cells.
Yes, the independent assortment of genes during meiosis does cause genetic variation.
The more space there is between two genes on the same chromosome, the more likely it is that crossing over will take place between those two genes. Thus, by studying lots of examples of meiosis with crossing over, it is possible to make a map of the chromosome, with the genes (and the relative distances between them) laid out along it.

Sturtevant's hypothesis was that the frequency of cross-overs during meiosis was related to the distance between genes
Traits are another name for genes. These are located on various areas of chromosomes. During meiosis, the chromosomes which are duplicated, are formed into gametes (ova or sperm). Those two combine into a new individual with entirely different mixture of traits.
Crossing over recombines linked genes by exchanging genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis. Unlinked genes are not affected by crossing over as they are located on different chromosomes and segregate independently during meiosis.
Genetic recombination occurs during meiosis cell division. As genes cross over during this process, scientists track the genes to study their linkage.
To mix up the genes to promote genetic diversity
Activation of meiosis-specific genes is associated with depolyploidization of human tumor cells following radiation-induced mitotic catastrophe.

Genes assort independently if they are on different chromosomes. If a pair of genes are on the same chromosome, it depends on how far apart they are to determine the chances of them staying together or moving apart.
