Meiosis and mitosis are both forms of cell division. However, the outcomes of these processes
differ. Consider a diploid organism with two sexes. Select the reasons why meiosis typically
produces genetic variation, whereas mitosis does not. Mitosis produces two identical diploid
daughter cells. Independent assortment results in alleles for a gene being passed separately to
gametes during meiosis. Genetic material is exchanged between homologous chromosomes in
meiosis during crossing over. 1n gametes produced in mitosis fuse to produce 2n cells in
meiosis.
