6. Why does meiosis increase genetic variation in the offspring, but mitosis does not? (1 point)

Biology

brilliants [131]3 years ago
3 0
Meiosis involves crossing over where chromosomes exchange genetic segments, resulting in different sets of chromosomes. Each time an egg or sperm created, it is different due to this recombination. Mitosis on the other hand is non-sex cells replicating exact copies of themselves which lead to no genetic variation as they aren't involved in producing offspring.
