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

It produces cells unique to the parent, with half the amount of DNA (Bigler, 2021).

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

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.).

It produces two diploid daughter cells

Meiosis Produces 4 haploid daughter cells

Mitosis has 4 stages including interphase

Meiosis has 8 stages including the interphase

They both start with a single-parent cell

Both of the procedures make new cells and have similar steps/structures.
