    This document provides an overview of meiosis and how it contributes to genetic variation. Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gametes with half the normal number of chromosomes. It involves two divisions that result in four haploid daughter cells from one original diploid cell. During meiosis, homologous chromosomes can exchange DNA through crossing over, resulting in new combinations of genes. When gametes fuse during fertilization, the full chromosome number is restored. Independent assortment and random fertilization further increase the genetic variation seen in offspring.

    2. meiosis
    A. overview
    meiosis
    produces gametes
    starts with a diploid (2n)
    cell and ends with 4
    haploid (1n) daughter cells
    daughter cells are not
    genetically identical
    when two haploid gametes
    fuse during fertilization,
    the diploid number of
    chromosomes is restored
