The first way genetic diversity is created in meiosis is through a process called crossing over, which is when homologous chromosomes pair up with a non identical parter chromosome, and they exchange parts of DNA.  The chromsomes are broken and rejoined in new combinations, which results in genetic diversity in the end result of meiosis.

Meiosis shuffles whole chromosomes among the four gametes that result in the end, which is called random segregation. This process is like shuffling a deck of cards (chromosomes) and then randomly dividing them into four decks (the four daughter cells), which can result in many different possiblities.

The third way to create genetic diversity in meiosis is through independant assortment. During this process, the two homologous chromosomes of a pair must go in different gametes. This ensures that each gamete can only have one version of a gene, which creates genetic diversity between each gamete and between the original cell.
