Describe two different processes that occur during meiosis that contribute to genetic variation.
Two different process that occur during meiosis that contribute to genetic variation are cross-over and independent assortment. In independent assortment, homologues chromosomes separate and move to opposite sides of the cell. This results in cells having one chromosome from a pair of each homologous chromosomes, but the chromosome each cell gets is random. In cross over, the homologues chromosomes line up their chromatids and exchange the corresponding segments of DNA. This allows more combinations of genes to be produced.
