<span>Genetic variation is introduced as a result of the distinct crossing over of chromosomes in both phases of prophase. In the meiosis process, there can also be mutations in the s phase which are very unpredictable and can result in some very significant variations depending on where the coding is. by independent assoartment and 3 by mutations in s phase.
