Meiosis, on the other hand, is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction. Which phase of meiosis is different from mitosis? How? (n.d.).

Generation of Variation and Mendel's Law.

# data[].attributes.body
The behavior of chromosomes during meiosis generates variation in several ways:

Crossing Over: During Prophase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange segments of DNA in a process called crossing over. This results in new combinations of genes on each chromosome.

Independent Assortment: During Metaphase I, the way in which the pairs of homologous chromosomes line up is random. This means that the combination of chromosomes that ends up in each gamete is also random.

This explains Mendel's law of independent assortment, which states that the alleles for different traits segregate, or separate, independently of one another during the formation of gametes. This is because the orientation of each pair of homologous chromosomes is random during Metaphase I, leading to the independent assortment of the chromosomes (and therefore the genes).(10.1 Meiosis | BioNinja, n.d.)

The cell undergoes a round of cell division (including Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I), but instead of separating sister chromatids (like in mitosis), homologous chromosomes are separated.

The cell undergoes a second round of cell division (including Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II), similar to mitosis, where sister chromatids are separated.

This results in four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
