How would meiosis differ without independent assortment? Select the TWO correct answers. The genetic diversity generated by meio
sis would be limited to recombination. No genetic diversity among gametes would be generated during meiosis. Recombination would not occur because homologous chromosomes would not pair. Each gamete would have a random combination of maternal and paternal chromosomes. Gametes would have all maternal chromosomes or all paternal chromosomes. 2. How does recombination contribute to offspring diversity? Select the TWO correct answers. It yields gametes with random combinations of maternal and paternal chromosomes. It modifies chromosomes to generate new alleles of genes that code for proteins. It generates gametes with selective advantages over the gametes of competitors. It increases the genetic diversity among gametes produced by an organism. It yields chromosomes that contain both maternal and paternal DNA.
