Meiosis and mitosis are both forms of cell division. However, the outcomes of these processes differ. Consider a diploid organis

m with two sexes. Select the reasons why meiosis typically produces genetic variation, whereas mitosis does not. Gametic chromosomes have a different combination of alleles than parental chromosomes as a result of independent assortment. Sister chromatids are not genetically identical as a result of crossing over during meiosis. 1n gametes produced in mitosis fuse to produce 2n cells in meiosis. Meiosis produces four genetically different haploid cells.

Answer:

Meiosis produces four genetically different haploid cells.

Gametic chromosomes have a different combination of alleles than parental chromosomes as a result of independent assortment

Explanation:

Meiosis and Mitosis are two types of cell division that occurs in living organisms. However, Mitosis produces daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell while meiosis produces daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell. This accounts for the reason meiosis leads to genetic variation.

The production of genetically different cells by meiosis is as a result of the process of the random orientation of chromosomes during metaphase I of meiosis I. This process is called INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT. However, crossing over occurs during prophase I of meiosis between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes.

rjkz [21]
The exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids that may result in new gene combinations on the chromosomes is called the random assortment. It involves formation of random combinations of chromosomes in meiosis and of genes on different pairs of homologous chromosomes by the passage according to the laws of probability of one of each diploid pair of homologous chromosomes into each gamete independently to each other pair.
