produces two identical daughters, from one parent  (Bigler, 2021).

It produces two diploid daughter cells

Meiosis is the formation of egg and sperm cells. In sexually reproducing organisms, body cells are diploid, meaning they contain two sets of chromosomes (one set from each parent).

How does the behavior of chromosomes during meiosis generate variation and explain Mendel’s law of independent assortment?

# data[].attributes.body
The behavior of chromosomes during meiosis generates variation by independently sorting genetics and gametes recombination  (Genetic Variation in Meiosis | Overview & Crossing Over - Lesson, n.d.). Mendel’s law of independent assortment explains that alleles from two different genes get sorted into gametes independently of one another  (The Law of Independent Assortment (Article), n.d.).
