Question

Which structure is directly correlated with the production of genetic variability in the daughter cells produced during meiosis?

Answer 1

Answer:

Chiasma

Explanation:

During meiosis, more precisely, prophase 1 homologous chromosomes  connect in a process known as synapsis and form tetrad structure (four chromatides). Non-sister chromatids mayrecombine with their homologous partner which is known as crossing over, the process in which genetic variabilty is produced. These non-sister chromatids remain physically connected at the points of exchange known as chiasmata.
